Shishi Gege opened the safe under her desk and rummaged through it. Soon, she took out a folder and placed it on the table. She stood up and smiled at Xiaoqiang:
"By the way, this is it."
Xiang Xiaoqiang opened the folder, took out a few pieces of paper, and browsed through them quickly.
This is a list, and two-thirds of the names on it have been circled. The remaining names that have not been circled have corresponding notes in small letters next to them.
This was the list of spies lurking in Nanjing that was recovered from the safe at Niangan when we attacked Pukou at the beginning of the year. When Xiang Xiaoqiang returned, he wanted to order the arrest of all these spies, so as to catch them all, but a stomachache stopped him.
let. belly
Zi Tong said that such a large list of spies is definitely a treasure, and there is no reason not to make good use of it. What he means is not to arrest them first, but to monitor them first. Only arrest them unless they escape. If they don't escape, use them first.
They sent false information northward.
At that time, Xiang Xiaoqiang felt that this was wishful thinking. The safe in the small building near Pukou's sticky pole had been blown open, and everything inside had been swept away. When the Qing army came back, they must have known that the list inside must have fallen into the hands of the Ming army. What else could they pass on?
False information?
But it’s not certain that I have a stomachache. It’s true that the safe was blown open, but only Nima Shan, the director of Pukou Branch of Sticky Rod Department, knows what’s inside. As long as he doesn’t tell anyone, no one in Beiqing will know. And because of Nima Shan
Mashan's personal negligence led to the interception of the entire list of spies in Nanjing by the Ming army. This was a serious crime. If the superiors found out, it would be hard to save their heads. I feel like I have a stomach ache. If Mashan doesn't dare to publicize it, he will probably cover it up at the expense of national interests.
In exchange for his wealth and life.
Xiang Xiaoqiang thought it made sense, so he adopted a tactic that made him feel uncomfortable. He secretly monitored the spies first, and would not arrest them as long as they did not escape. At the same time, he tried to use them to pass on false information. Soon, the boss of the Sticky Branch in Beijing
Spies from the Ming Dynasty Agency received information that after the war, Nimashan actively spent money to move himself out of Pukou. Soon, Nimashan was transferred to the Xuzhou Branch of Niangan Branch as the chief, replacing the man who was killed by Xiang Xiaoqiang and the others.
The original Xuzhou branch belonged to the chief.
The Xuzhou branch is much larger than the Pukou branch, and has much greater real power. On the surface, it is a flat job, but in fact it is equivalent to a high promotion. From this point of view, the loss of the Nanjing and Beiqing spy lists was indeed caused by Nima Shan
It was covered up. Otherwise, it would be great if he didn't lose his head. How could he still be promoted? In addition, he exercised desperately and wanted to leave Pukou, which also proved that he was very capable.
He didn't even want to stay and make amends quietly, but wanted to leave as soon as possible and leave the mess to the next Pukou chief. Because he knew that even if the Nanjing spies were wiped out by the Ming army, as long as this happened under the next Pukou branch chief,
Yes, as long as the money is spent properly, it will be easy for me to get rid of the responsibility and put the shit basin on the head of the next Pukou Governor.
In the past few months, the People's Guard has monitored these spies in Nanjing and has not allowed them to steal any more information. On the contrary, it has also fabricated a lot of false information and continuously transmitted it to Beiqing through them. In the past six months, Nanming has
The Beiqing government actively expanded its military and prepared for war, popularized new weapons, new tactics, and increasingly obvious offensive postures, but the Beiqing was almost not aware of it. Instead, through these carefully selected false information from the Nan Ming, the Beiqing gradually came to the conclusion that "the Nan Ming is becoming more and more
The impression of being scared and trying to defend yourself.
Even though the use value of some spies has been squeezed out, Stomachache was not arrested in batches, but was arrested one after another and sporadicly, giving the Beiqing the impression that "Nanming found out this by himself". Up to now, the spies on the list
Two-thirds have been arrested, and the remaining one-third is still valuable.
…
Xiang Xiaoqiang flipped through the lists and said with a smile:
"There is still more than a month left. According to the spirit of the headquarters, in the last month or so, it is time to focus on utilizing them."
Shi Shigege's expression slowly dimmed as she listened to what he said about "the last month or so".
Xiang Xiaoqiang understood her current mood. He leaned closer, comforted her and smiled softly:
"Look, we have more than a month to avenge your family."
Shi Shi Ge Ge looked at the paper on the table, his eyes were a little absent-minded, and he nodded blankly.
Xiang Xiaoqiang smiled again and said:
"By the way, that girl asked me to give you a message again, saying that Princess Liaoyang can rest assured that we will definitely abide by our original promise. If we can regain the north in one fell swoop this time, the Ming Dynasty will treat the Manchus well. Look, you come
The Ming Dynasty is not short. You also know what kind of country the Ming Dynasty is. What else do you still hold on to?
Are you worried? This time the Ming Dynasty tried its best to keep tens of thousands of new citizens, as you have seen. Not long ago, these tens of thousands of new citizens were all soldiers of the Qing Dynasty invading the south. Not counting this, several thousand of them were still from the Eight Banners
Teachers, they are all Manchus, don't we treat them equally? We don't want to retaliate against them, right?
"That girl also said that Princess Liaoyang has given us so much help in the past few months, and she helped us voluntarily. We must not make it difficult for Princess Liaoyang. We will never let Princess Liaoyang become a sinner of her nation.
It will only make her become the liberator of her nation, be recorded in the annals of history by the Manchus, and be praised throughout the ages... Ahem, that girl is a bit nauseous, but she makes sense.
It makes sense. Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty is called the Manchu Qing Dynasty and it is the Manchus who rule, the real privileged class among the Manchus is only such a small group, and 95% of the Manchus are just ordinary people. Under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, they
They are shit people. If they were under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, they would be able to live uprightly as citizens. You have been in the Ming and Qing Dynasties for a long time. You should be very clear about how different the 'people' on the two sides are.
"Sigh...I don't deny that during the war, or during the 'pain period' two or three years after the war, their lives will go backwards, and they may call you 'traitorous'. But it doesn't take much, within ten years
, you will be regarded as a liberator by your nation. Because the Manchus are also human beings, everyone has eyes and can see for themselves, and has a brain to think for themselves. He
People will compare their current life and status with that of the Northern Qing Dynasty. Even a fool will not want to go back to the Northern Qing Dynasty. Think about it, by that time, what will your fourteenth character be in the hearts of the Manchu people?
Status? After all, no one is a fool. As long as more information is allowed to enter the brain, he will make his own judgment."
After Xiang Xiaoqiang finished talking about the "manchu rape theory" with a dry mouth, he looked at Shi Shige Ge with a smile to see if she was smiling.
Shi Shigege glanced at him, with a smile on her lips, and said in a cold tone:
"Okay, okay, how about something fresh every once in a while? It's not that complicated, I just don't feel comfortable working for that girl... In the north, I was brainwashed by others, but now in the south, I am being brainwashed by others.
, I don’t know if it’s retribution.”
Xiang Xiaoqiang rubbed his hands and said with a playful smile:
"It doesn't matter. Brainwashing is an art. Everyone communicates with each other..."
…
One day later, on August 25, the commanders of the middle section and the western section of the Yangtze River Defense Line were summoned to Nanjing. The two commanders flew to Nanjing by plane. At the headquarters of the eastern section commander Cao Mingqin, they participated in a "Concerning the Comprehensive Improvement of the Yangtze River Defense Line"
"Line of Defense" conference.
This meeting was specially held by Zhang Zhaoxian after listening to Xiang Xiaoqiang's suggestion. This was a trick. The so-called "comprehensive improvement of the Yangtze River defense line defense" was originally just a flash of inspiration when Xiang Xiaoqiang deceived Zheng Gongyin. Now it is considered by the headquarters
It was very creative and was solemnly "discussed at the meeting and put on the agenda".
The three commanders of the Yangtze River Defense Line were also military participants in the last Supreme Military and Political Conference, and they also knew about the plan to fight against the Qing Dynasty. But this time they came to Nanjing for a meeting again, and what they were told was "about comprehensively improving the defense capacity of the Yangtze River Defense Line."
"meeting", they didn't know what was going on and thought it was a war.
We should strengthen the defense of the Yangtze River defense line. After arriving in Nanjing, Cao Mingqin first paid them to have a meal in a restaurant in the name of his colleagues. But in the small private room, after closing the door and only the three of them were left, Cao Mingqin told
Without them, this meeting was just a cover, a fog to deceive Beiqing.
So the other two commanders also counted. When attending the meeting, they generously brought their accompanying staff officers, adjutants, secretaries, etc. into the meeting venue to participate in the meeting and try to expand the scope of possible leaks. Cao Mingqin’s headquarters
There were also many "miscellaneous people" attending the meeting. After all, it was Beiqing this time and it was impossible not to know about it.
The Northern Qing Dynasty has always regarded the southern invasion as its strategic purpose. When infiltrating the Southern Ming military, it always listed units related to the defense of the Yangtze River as the first target. The Yangtze River Defense Line Headquarters is naturally the hardest hit area for spy infiltration. This is why Xiang Xiaoqiang has a stomachache for them.
After checking the list, they selected a meeting place. Originally, they could also let this
The meeting was held in the Purple Mountain Fortress, but it was the most critical place in the Southern Ming Dynasty. Counterespionage was very effective, and there were very few spies in the Northern Qing Dynasty. Later, after the People's Guard obtained the list of spies, they were the first to remove the spies there.
Arrested. Therefore, the Yangtze River Defense Line Headquarters became the best place for this meeting.
For the sake of authenticity and to expand the scope of knowledge, the meeting was attended by not only military personnel, but also relevant officials from the Ministry of Industry in the cabinet, and even relevant representatives from the cement industry, steel industry, and designers from Yongbei Fortification Design Company...
…The venue was packed with people.
Cao Mingqin waved his arms and said loudly and sadly:
“…So, we must learn from the painful lesson of the defense line being breached at the beginning of the year, and make up our minds to once again improve our Yangtze River defense line, making it truly impregnable and the real Great Steel Wall!… Don’t be afraid of spending money. Facts have proved that,
spend on defense
Every penny of money is spent wisely! Once the Qing Dynasty invades from the south and the Ming Dynasty is destroyed, what's the use of keeping money?...Okay, now let's invite the chief designer of Yongbei Fortification Design Company to come to the stage and explain for us
Everyone is welcome to talk about the ideas for the new design..."
