Section 162 Activities in Guangzhou

 Section 162 Activities in Guangzhou

Lin Baiguang paid attention to the yard outside. The weather was already a little cooler, and even outside he could not feel the heat of summer. It was completely different from what he felt in the old time and space.

You must know that this is still the South. In the old time and space, he once went to Shenzhen for a meeting in November. The sun at noon was still making people sweat, and he couldn't wear a coat, so he could only wear a shirt on the street.

However, this time and space was much colder. After a few rains, the temperature had plummeted to below 30 degrees. He stretched his legs and noticed that Chen Tong, who was standing guard at the entrance of the yard, was standing meticulously and looked very good.

It's alertness.

Lin Baiguang moved from Qiongshan to Guangzhou to prepare for work in Guangzhou, and brought Chen Tong as his assistant.

There is no need for complicated intelligence work in Qiongshan anymore - the fall of this place will happen sooner or later. After the fall, it will be the work of the General Political Security Bureau.

He asked Gao Di to continue to stay in the local area and formally manage and control the intelligence network headed by Ma Benyuan - until it was handed over to the "neighbors" after occupying Qiongshan. As for some of the powerful figures in Ma Benyuan's intelligence network, Lin Baiguang considered transferring them to Guangdong for employment on the ground.

.

Chen Tong's specific position in the Guangzhou Secret Service has not yet been announced, but he generally plays the role of the chief executive of the Guangzhou Secret Service. All intelligence information income and task assignments are handled through him. In most cases, Lin Baiguang only

Contact with him and his confidential secretary. Chen Tong's affairs were numerous and complicated. However, Lin Baiguang looked at him coldly and saw that he was doing things in an orderly manner.

This child is growing more and more. Lin Baiguang thought that he might be a promising talent in the future.

After taking him to Guangzhou, in order to see if he would be confused in this colorful world, Lin Baiguang deliberately gave him several opportunities to work in the field, allowing him to fully appreciate the charm of big city life, and then suddenly asked him to do internal work

He was not allowed to go out for many days. He was even given the most boring and menial job to fully observe his performance.

He was satisfied with Chen Tong's performance. Lin Baiguang thought, this man's heart was as heavy as water, neither anxious nor dry, and he was a good person for intelligence work.

This is the temporary office of Guangzhou Station. Strictly speaking, it is the office of the intelligence department of Guangzhou Station. It has been three days since he took over this plate from Zhang Xin. At present, the Guangzhou secret service led by Lin Baiguang is mainly conducting public affairs and political affairs.

and business information collection, and the other is special publicity. The intelligence personnel who were originally managed and controlled by Zhang Xin basically transferred their materials here.

Lin Baiguang naturally took over all the intelligence work and intelligence relations of the Guangzhou Station. He was very busy these days. In addition to receiving intelligence systems, he also met with the staff of the secret service headquarters.

According to the intelligence work regulations formulated by Jiang Shan, Li Yan and others, "relationships", "inside lines" and "sitting detectives" belong to the reconnaissance network respectively. Each reconnaissance network has an instructor to vertically control the scouts. The instructor has a close relationship with the secret service headquarters.

Contact is carried out in sections through transportation stations. If there is a problem in one link, it can be easily cut off.

Those who serve as instructors are all returning from Lingao rotation training or indigenous intelligence trainees trained by Class A of the Intelligence Bureau. Lin Baiguang also directly commands the Guangzhou Station Security Department. This security department is composed of more than 40 people and is responsible for security work.

.Since this group of people basically come from the escort bureau, they have a strong traditional "martial arts" mentality. Therefore, Lin Baiguang does not want them to do wet work, and mainly sends them to perform agency and personal protection.

Lin Baiguang was sitting in the mechanism, just like a spider in the center of a spider web. He could immediately feel the subtle vibrations in every link.

The task he has been assigned is to do everything possible to promote peace negotiations between the Guangdong officialdom and Lingao and restore trade between the two parties. To this end, he is actively working hard to open up contacts with local officials and gentry and lobby. Every official in the Guangdong officialdom

Attitudes, the attitudes of the gentry, he had a good grasp of.

Now, peace talks are the general trend, and the remaining resistance is obviously concentrated on Wang Zunde and Gao Shunqin. Wang Zunde fell ill in Zhaoqing, and his condition was getting better and worse. Even if he did not die, his resignation was not far away. Gao Shunqin's official career was going smoothly.

It is said that the Holy Family is not bad. Lin Baiguang believes that the biggest obstacle to the peace negotiation is not Wang Zunde but the Guangdong Governor.

Wang Zunde's attitude was no war, no peace, but his staff and subordinates, including the Ming army generals in Guangdong, all hoped to reach an agreement with the Australians as soon as possible to avoid worse consequences from continuing the war. Although Lu Yizhong's letter last time

There was no response from Wang Zunde. The negotiation mission originally planned to go to Macau failed to make it. However, the "relationship" arranged by Wang Zunde in the shogunate clearly revealed that everyone, including his most trusted aide Li Xijue,

I hope to be able to contact the Australians - at least to rescue the remnants of He Rubin and others trapped in Qiongshan, so as to reduce some shock to the government and the public.

With such a foundation, Lin Baiguang is full of confidence in Wang Zunde's work.

Gao Shunqin has always been known for his tough attitude. Not only because he has a particularly strong idea of ​​​​discrimination between China and Yi, but also because he has no commercial interests in Guangdong's maritime trade, and is not responsible for specific military and government affairs, wars, politics, etc.

The consequences of success or failure are not directly related to his interests. Although this person is not as clear as water or as clear as a mirror, he will never accept bribes that go against his beliefs and ideals - otherwise the Portuguese would have bribed him long ago.

.So Gao Shunqin is the most difficult person to deal with.

Lin Baiguang decided to focus the work negotiation on Gao Shunqin.

But how to get started with this, he has not yet thought of a specific method.

"Master." Chen Tong whispered outside the window in the yard.

"What's up?"

"The new report has been sent."

"Bring it in!" Lin Baiguang ordered.

A thick book was brought into his office. He looked through the latest news summary, which was all local intelligence in Guangzhou in the last 72 hours - not very important but may have reference value. The most important information delivery in Guangzhou city

The time limit for arriving at the office is generally no more than 4 hours.

He first turned over some news conveyed by the "relationships" of the governor's yamen: Li Fengjie sent an aide to Macau, but the purpose of the trip was unknown. This news cheered him up. Why did he suddenly send someone to Macau? Macau is Fragrant Mountain.

Under the jurisdiction of the county, official affairs are, as usual, the responsibility of the Xiangshan County Magistrate, who is specifically responsible for Macau affairs. As the governor of a province, Li Fengjie has no reason to send staff to handle official affairs in private.

Li Fengjie has no business in Macau - this is something that the Guangzhou secret service has long known. It is unlikely that he went to Macau for business or anything like that.

The Bureau of Foreign Intelligence has no permanent personnel in Macau, and only Zhang Xin has several "connections" there to report on the general business and people's conditions there. Of course, it is impossible to find out what Li Fengjie's emissary is doing.

Lin Baiguang thought that at this juncture, Li Fengjie sent people to Macau, which was obviously related to them. He must get to the bottom of it. Thinking of this, he asked Chen Tong to come in.

"Go and do a few things right away. Li Fengjie has sent someone to Macau. You pick a person, keep an eye on Li Fengjie's envoy to Macau, and try to find out what he is planning to do when he sends someone to Macau."

Chen Tong nodded: "I'll go right away."

"One more thing, is there any relationship between us around Gao Shunqin? Find out immediately and tell me."

"Understood." Chen Tong immediately walked out.

Lin Baiguang watched Chen Tong leave and began to read the latest intelligence summary. He selected the most important officials' intelligence to read first. An article about Gao Shun's imperial edict prohibiting the Portuguese from entering Guangzhou and prohibiting merchants from trading with the Portuguese.

The information about the memorial attracted him.

There must be a connection here! Lin Baiguang ordered someone to immediately send someone to find out whether Li Fengjie had mentioned anything related to the Portuguese in Macau recently.

The intelligence agent spent no effort to get the information from the servants of the Li Mansion - Li Fengjie had told his staff that they would not admit anything that Franji asked about Gao Shunqin's memorial.

Comparing this news with the general content of the memorial sent by Gao Shunqin, Lin Baiguang understood somewhat: Li Fengjie was probably seeking help from the Portuguese, so he was afraid that the news of Gao Shunqin's memorial would reach their ears - he probably also knew about this city in Guangzhou.

There are no secrets to keep, so the person in charge is going to "refuse to admit it".

He rang the bell, and Lin Xuan, a confidential secretary of the secret service, came in. This was the girl he bought with his maid welfare money - a poor girl who only had a nickname. Lin Baiguang asked her to take his last name.

According to the nature of Lin Baiguang's work, the General Office sent her to the confidential personnel training class of the General Administration of Political Security, and she is now Lin Baiguang's confidential secretary.

"Check to see if there are any transcripts of Gao Shunqin's memorials on Portuguese or Macau affairs that he issued from mid-August to the current location."

Lin Xuan came back soon to report: No information about his needs was found.

If not, you have to send someone to do it. Gao Shunqin's memorial is easy to get when it arrives in Beijing - as long as the emperor does not stay in the middle, it can be copied in his residence. But it is not so easy to get it in Guangzhou. You must bribe the drafting of the memorial.

Only a staff member or a close scholar who handles memorials and documents will do.

Gao Shunqin didn't have such a powerful relationship in Gao Shunqin's mansion - this was a big shortcoming. Originally, Pei Lixiu and Gao Shunqin's concubine Su Ai were good sisters who were handkerchiefs. With Su Ai's status in Gao Shunqin's mansion, they secretly

It should be possible to get a copy of the memorial.

Pei Lixiu is not in Guangzhou now, so the road is cut off. Of course it is possible to bring her back, and Lingao will not object, but she is too famous and there are too many people who know her in Guangzhou, so the situation is unclear.

It would be dangerous to come back hastily when the time comes.
