Yuan Keding didn't know that Liu Zhenming was not just wandering around these days. He was looking around for former Beiyang navy talents (the latest chapter of Civilization of the Force).
After the defeat of the Sino-Japanese War, the Beiyang Navy was in dire straits and was almost withdrawn by the Qing government. When the Allied Forces invaded China, several more ships were taken from the navy fleet, which have not yet been returned. The Qing government even planned to sell five naval capital ships.
Plan, the people of the Beiyang Navy were panicked, a large number of sailors and naval generals were idle at home, and their lives were not settled (Tianji reincarnation).
However, Liu Zhenming knew that Yuan Shikai was now the Minister of Beiyang, and the Beiyang Navy was under his control. The sale of the ships was probably in trouble. If the situation stabilized, these talents would probably be reused.
Therefore, Liu Zhenming looked to see if he could get ahead of the Qing government and recruit some naval generals and sailors for future use. Unfortunately, he was still an idle member of society without any position and could not do much.
When Yuan Keding found Liu Zhenming, Liu Zhenming was drinking in an old-fashioned tavern. This was the favorite place for sailors and sailors. Liu Zhenming met many low-level sailors here.
"Brother Yuntai, I didn't expect to meet again so soon." Although Liu Zhenming smelled of alcohol, his moves were still bright.
There was a smell of rot in the tavern, and Yuan Keding felt uncomfortable with it. He walked to Liu Zhenming's side with a frown, and said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, my father has invited you."
Liu Zhenming raised the wine and drank a glass, and said with a smile: "Liu thought Master Yuan had forgotten Liu a long time ago, but I didn't expect that he still remembered Liu."
"Brother Liu is joking." Yuan Keding smiled awkwardly.
Yuan Shikai's private residence.
When Liu Zhenming, smelling of alcohol, appeared in front of Yuan Shikai, Yuan Shikai was not surprised or surprised.
"Ziqian. Come, let me introduce you to a Japanese friend." Yuan Shikai took Liu Zhenming's right hand affectionately and walked towards a Japanese who was smiling and looking a little rich.
"This is a Japanese friend I met when I was a police inspector in Zhili, Nobuzumi Aoki. Mr. Aoki is very talented and loves our Chinese civilization. I can recite a book of "Three Kingdoms" backwards and forwards. I compiled a new book in Jinan
When I was in the army, Mr. Aoki also helped me wholeheartedly." Yuan Shikai introduced the two to each other with a smile.
"Brother Weiting is too ridiculous. This is my responsibility. Brother Liu, I'm glad to meet you." Aoki Xuanchun pressed his right hand on his chest and lowered his head slightly to show his respect for Liu Zhenming.
of respect.
"Liu thought he had met enough Japanese people in Japan, but he didn't expect that when he returned to China, he would see Japanese people every day. Mr. Aoki, it's really a pleasure to meet you!" Liu Zhenming said with a smile without changing his face. In fact, in his heart,
There has been a huge wave.
Liu Zhenming once read a book about Japan's intelligence penetration into China. Among them, three Japanese people stood out the most. The first one is Nozumi Aoki in front of him. This person is the first generation of China Tong soldiers and has been living in China.
For 28 years, he established the Aoki Agency in the capital and trained a large number of agents. He became the originator of espionage activities against China.
Of course, Liu Zhenming also knew that this person was also the chief intelligence officer in China during the later Russo-Japanese War, and made an indelible contribution to Japan's final victory over Russia.
This person's disciple Rihachiro Banishi was the second generation giant of Japanese espionage against China after Nobujun Aoki. Later, the so-called third generation Chinese Tong Doihara Kenji in the Japanese army. Seishiro Sakagaki, Shigeru Honjo and others all came from Banishi Ri.
Under the Eight Lang family.
Because when Nobujun Aoki was alive, Japan had not yet fully invaded China, so he was not well known to the Chinese people. However, his status and role were self-evident. Unexpectedly, he was standing in front of him alive today. Liu Zhenming was very good.
He concealed the murderous intention in his heart. It seemed that Japan could not wait to go to war with Russia.
Liu Zhenming didn't know that one of his military skills caused a major earthquake, which once again enhanced the Japanese people's awareness of the crisis. Moreover, the Japanese government also needed to use war to divert some of the adverse effects of the earthquake, so
, the Russo-Japanese War may break out early.
Liu Zhenming's words were thorny. Aoki Xuanzhun pretended not to understand and just smiled nonchalantly.
After a few people sat down again, the maid served some fragrant tea and retreated, only four people, Yuan and his son, Aoki Xuanzhun and Liu Zhenming were left in the whole room.
Yuan Shikai smiled and said: "I already understand the purpose of Mr. Qingmu's visit. I support this matter and can find some ways for you, but I don't want to see riots in Zhili under my jurisdiction."

Nobujun Aoki nodded and said: "Although there have been some misunderstandings between China and Japan, since ancient times, they have lived in peace and friendship most of the time. Nowadays, Western white people have dominated the world, and Russia continues to use military means to claim your country's territory.
As long as it invades the Northeast, it will become the front line for the invasion of Japan. Our country will never allow the Russians to do this. Since your government is unable to resist the Russian aggression, our country can only assist your country to recover these territories."
When Nobuzumi Aoki said this, he looked at Liu Zhenming and the others seriously, and continued: "In the war, Japan fought independently, but secretly, it had to rely on your assistance at all costs. Our government has obtained the consent of your country's central government.
The area east of the Liao River will be designated as a war zone. Our troops will not take a step in other places. After the Russians are repulsed, your two countries can also discuss matters in the Northeast."
Based on the intelligence from later generations, Liu Zhenming guessed and guessed, and roughly understood Nobuzumi Aoki's intention, which was nothing more than gaining the support of Yuan Shikai, a noble man from China.
In the entire north of China today, only Yuan Shikai's newly-built army has become popular. The rest are some old patrol camps, which are fine for suppressing peasant uprisings, but not enough for other purposes.
I just don’t know what Yuan Shikai wants to do with me.
Yuan Shikai nodded slightly. There had been rumors from the court for a long time. Under Yang Shiqi's guidance, Yuan Shikai colluded with the Minister of Military Aircraft, Prince Qing Yikuang, both internally and externally, and became a force that cannot be ignored in the Qing government. Yikuang informed the court's policy trends.
Tell him, and he will support Yi Kuang outside.
Yuan Shikai raised his voice and said: "Mr. Aoki, I will select dozens of capable non-commissioned officers from my subordinates. In the name of escaping, let them help you subdue the horse thieves in Manchuria and Mongolia and disrupt the Russian army from the rear and sides.
"
Nobuzumi Aoki's face was filled with joy. It would be much easier for the Chinese to take part in some matters in China.
I don't know what Yuan Shikai was thinking, but he suddenly pointed his finger and said with a smile: "Liu Ziqian. I was sent to Germany to study, and then interned in the German Navy, and recently returned to China (read the full text of the official)."
There is a great talent, and this time, he will assist Mr. Aoki in promoting this matter."
As soon as Yuan Shikai finished speaking, not only Aoki Xuanzhun was stunned, but Liu Zhenming himself was also stunned.
"Your Mightiness!"
As soon as Aoki Xuanchun opened his mouth, Yuan Shikai interrupted him and said: "Mr. Aoki, Liu Ziqian is the best candidate. I don't want the Russians to know that I am involved in this matter, otherwise it will cause a diplomatic dispute. And Ziqian just
Back home, not many people know his identity, and I believe Zi Qian can complete this matter, Zi Qian. What do you think?"
Liu Zhenming had already calmed down and said with a smile: "I will obey your orders at any time."
"This matter is settled!" Yuan Shikai brought the tea as a farewell to the guests. After seeing this, Aoki Xuanchun, a China expert, had no choice but to stand up and leave.
"Liu Jun, I hope that next time we meet, we can cooperate sincerely, take the interests of the East Asian nations as our own responsibility, and drive away the Russian forces from the Northeast as soon as possible." Nobuzumi Aoki finally bowed to Liu Zhenming and said sincerely.
Such a sentence.
After Aoki Xuanchun left, Yuan Shikai glanced at Liu Zhenming, who was as calm as ever. He praised: "There are few young people who can be as neither arrogant nor impetuous as you."
Yuan Keding twisted his body in embarrassment. He couldn't help but ask Yuan Shikai why he sent Liu Zhenming to assist the Japanese.
Yuan Keding did not know Liu Zhenming's true identity and thought that Yuan Shikai's rhetoric to deceive the Japanese was true.
However, he knew clearly that Liu Zhenming didn't like the Japanese and sent a guy who didn't like the Japanese to help the Japanese. No wonder he couldn't help but want to ask.
Yuan Shikai asked: "Zi Qian, in the war between Japan and Russia, who do you think will win?"
"It should be Russia." Liu Zhenming answered an answer that was recognized internationally at this time. In the Russo-Japanese War, no one expected that Japan would eventually win (read the full text of Rebirth of Tai Chi Kuai Sword).
Yuan Shikai shook his head and said calmly: "I don't think so. The Japanese have made so many preparations for the war, but the Russians have not made any preparations."
Liu Zhenming looked at Yuan Shikai again in surprise, but he didn't expect that he could guess the ending.
Yuan Shikai seemed not to notice Liu Zhenming's surprised look, and sighed: "Since ancient times, countries have maintained close relations with each other. However, Japan and Russia are our close neighbors and they also peek into our territory. Any one of them will
Even today’s Qing Dynasty cannot resist this country, and what we can do is very limited.”
"Then I wonder what your lord's intention is in sending me to help the Japanese?" Liu Zhenming raised his eyebrows and asked in a deep voice.
Yuan Shikai smiled softly and said: "You can't help but ask, but the deeper meaning is nothing. War between Japan and Russia is inevitable, and I don't want to take sides with either of them. What I want to see is the two countries fighting to the death."
, and you have prejudices against Japan. If I send you to do things for the Japanese, you will not really help them. What's more, this matter will also be very helpful for you in another matter."
Another thing, Liu Zhenming was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that Yuan Shikai was talking about immigration. The news that Britain and Japan signed an alliance agreement was no longer a secret in the world. If they were smuggled to Canada under the banner of the Japanese,
Population, this thing will become extremely wonderful. First, there is no need to re-select the route, just pass Japan as a transit point. Second, acting in the name of the Germans will easily attract the attention of the United Kingdom, while Japan is much more hidden.
Liu Zhenming's eyes lit up and he looked at Yuan Shikai with a completely different look. He couldn't help but secretly screamed "Old Fox" in his heart.
As for doing things for the Japanese, Liu Zhenming also wanted to stay by their side, and then do his best to help Japan and Russia, so that they could continue to fight for a long time, and it was best to fight so hard that the vitality of the two countries would be severely damaged.
Moreover, what Nobujun Aoki just said about subduing the horse thieves, Liu Zhenming suddenly thought, didn’t Zhang Zuolin, the future king of the Northeast, rise to power during the Russo-Japanese War? As long as this matter is solved, maybe he can also get a base in the Northeast.
