1627 Rise of the South China Sea

Chapter 470
Li Qingyang couldn't fully understand what Yan Chujie said, there were too many words that he didn't understand.However, he roughly understood what Yan Chujie wanted to express.

The Haihan people did not want to become hostile to Ming Dynasty, nor did they want to be treated as a potential threat by the court.Regarding the war in the north, Li Qingyang was not particularly familiar with the details, but there was no doubt that in the past few years, the imperial court had collected more and more "Liao pay" from the wealthy areas in the south.Although the notices issued by the imperial court are always victorious, but the military expenditure is increasing year by year. Is this really the performance after winning the battle?

Then I heard Yan Chujie continue to say: "We also know that Daming has been struggling in the war in the north in recent years, so I have been in contact with the Guangdong government recently, hoping to sell the muskets and cannons produced by our Haihan to Daming, and transport them to the north to deal with those Wild boar skin. I think, this can already fully demonstrate the sincerity of our Hai Han?"

Regarding Yan Chujie's statement, Li Qingyang really couldn't find anything to criticize, but he still insisted on asking: "Since your hearts are devoted to Daming and you haven't done anything shameful, why do you use such an attitude to deal with us Jin Yiwei? You It can be seen that Jin Yiwei is the emperor's own army, and if Haihan takes us, it is tantamount to making an enemy of Daming!"

"No, no, these two things cannot be directly linked!" Yan Chujie shook his head and retorted: "No one will know the whereabouts of the few of you. On the premise that no one knows at all, how can you talk about being with Daming?" Enemies? As for why you were arrested, it was purely out of security considerations. We don’t know whether your purpose of coming to Sanya is to lurk here, or to assassinate important people among us. I think you are also very concerned. Clearly, your Jinyiwei's reputation among the people is not particularly good. Instead of letting the situation develop out of control, it is better to bring it under our control from the beginning. You see, although you have been arrested, the actual The emperor did not torture you, starve you, or mistreat you. We do not want to fight against Jin Yiwei, but Jin Yiwei wants to deal with us, so we will not sit still."

"So what you want me to do is to assist you and deal with the colleagues who will be sent here in the future?" Li Qingyang's mind turned quickly, and he immediately figured out something from Yan Chujie's words.

"That's right, since you Jinyiwei will definitely come again, and we don't want to be enemies with the Ming court, this should be the best way to avoid unnecessary losses for both of us. Of course, if you want, you can continue to use Jinyiwei Stay here as a spy, and send reports back to Nanjing regularly to let your superiors know that everything is normal here." Yan Chujie did not deny Li Qingyang's guess, and took advantage of the opportunity to reveal his own plan.

Yan Chujie's suggestion is undoubtedly very attractive to Li Qingyang. It can not only save his own life, but also retain his identity as Jin Yiwei, and it sounds very feasible. After all, the news of their fall should not have been sent back. Nanjing, and Li Qingyang himself is the leader of this team, as long as he is still there, then this so-called latent mission can pretend that nothing happened and continue to carry out.In this way, the Nanjing side will not continue to send people to Sanya in a short time, and he will not have to worry about whether to help the Haihan people arrest their colleagues.

Li Qingyang hesitated: "Then what about my other colleague?"

Yan Chujie replied: "It is enough for one person to do this kind of thing. If you are willing to agree, I guarantee that your colleague will never appear in the land of Ming Dynasty again in his lifetime, and you don't have to worry about what you are here. What you do will be leaked. In addition, we also know that your family members live near Nanjing. If you think it is necessary, we will entrust reliable people to pick up your family members. As long as you do things for us, There is no need to worry about it, we will solve all the problems."

"Then if I still refuse to share the inside information about Jin Yiwei that you want to know, do you still think it's worth doing so?" Li Qingyang continued to test Yan Chujie's bottom line.

Yan Chujie smiled and said, "About this matter, I'm actually not worried at all. As long as you live here for a while, you will naturally understand why we are in today's situation and why the local government will turn a blind eye to our existence." One eye, and even take the initiative to cooperate with us. At that time, you will find that those things you swore to protect before are nothing in the face of absolute power! Whether you say it or not, Jin Yiwei is weak in our eyes The presence."

"A weak existence?" Li Qingyang almost exploded when he heard this comment. The majestic emperor's pro-military, the most privileged yamen in the world, the existence that makes countless people fearful, is actually only such a pitiful image in Haihan's population!

"I know you are not convinced, but in this world, whoever has the biggest fist has the final say. If we switch our positions now, then you can say the same thing to me." Facing Li Qingyang's anger, Yan Chujie looked very calm.He was not afraid of causing Li Qingyang to change his mind after angering him, because once a smart person like Li Qingyang saw the hope of life, he would not easily give up the opportunity that had come so hard.

As for whether Li Qingyang would relapse after he regained his freedom, Yan Chujie didn't have to worry about it - Haihan has instigated many people so far, and he has never seen anyone who has relapsed after entering the Haihan system.After all, the actual benefits that Haihan can give them are far from comparable to those of the original camp.Even if Li Qingyang was powerful, after a period of brainwashing in Sanya, his revolutionary enthusiasm might be even higher than that of pioneers like Luo Shengdong.

Li Qingyang closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then asked in a very helpless voice: "Then when will I be able to regain my freedom?"

"First of all, you must sign a written cooperation contract with us, explaining the content and purpose of your cooperation with us, and you must sign it." Yan Chujie began to put forward conditions without haste.

Li Qingyang understood that this was a certificate of nomination requested by the Haihan people. If he regretted it in the future, this thing would probably appear on his boss's desk.But in order to be able to escape smoothly, there was no other choice for the time being, Li Qingyang could only nod weakly, and agreed to this condition.

Seeing that he had no objection, Yan Chujie continued: "Secondly, after we release you, there will be a period of observation, during which your range of activities will be restricted, and all actions will be monitored by us. And you have to cooperate with us to do some necessary things, such as submitting your first written report after you came to Sanya to your superior in Nanjing. As for how long this observation period will take, it depends on your performance. .”

Li Qingyang took a deep breath, nodded and said, "It's a very reasonable condition, I accept it."

Yan Chujie closed the folder in front of him and stood up: "The content of today's conversation will be discussed at the meeting of Haihan Executive Committee tomorrow. If everything goes well, you will be free in two or three days at the earliest. gone."

Li Qingyang couldn't help asking: "If this discussion is not passed, then what will happen?"

Yan Chujie grinned at the corner of his mouth and said, "It's nothing bad, it won't be worse than it is now. Don't worry, eat and sleep well these two days, and wait for the news!"

After finishing speaking, Yan Chujie picked up the folder with one hand, patted Li Qingyang's shoulder with the other hand, opened the door and left the interrogation room.

Yan Chujie didn't go far after he came out, and went directly into the observation room next door to observe Li Qingyang's reaction with Tao Donglai and Hao Wanqing.To the trio's disappointment, Li Qingyang didn't have any obvious expression on his face, it was still as calm as he had been during the meeting just now.

"Is this guy born with facial paralysis!" Tao Donglai couldn't help complaining.

"That's not true." Yan Chujie shook his head and said, "When I said that Jin Yiwei was a vulnerable group, he still had an angry expression. But this guy is really deep-minded, and he seems really suitable for this job. Old Hao, don’t you think so?”

Hao Wanqing smiled and said, "Mr. Yan, do you mean that the people in our security department are black-bellied?"

The three of them observed for a while, and seeing that Li Qingyang still had no obvious emotional changes, Hao Wanqing asked someone to go in and take him away.

"How does Mr. Tao feel?" Hao Wanqing took the initiative to ask.Yan Chujie's attitude had been revealed during the meeting between the two just now, and now he just waited for Tao Dong to express his position.

Tao Donglai said: "The Ministry of Security arranged for him to write the cooperation agreement first, and then issue a written statement, clearly explaining the arrangement and intention, and then bring it to me and Mr. Yan to sign, and then we will discuss it according to the formal process. "

Hao Wanqing hesitated and said, "However, Li Qingyang's identity is relatively sensitive, so it's not suitable for too many people to know his existence."

Tao Donglai replied: "Then don't mention specific information in the written description. Just keep the cooperation agreement on file in the Security Department, and don't need to show it to the public. As for what identity should be arranged for Li Qingyang, your Security Department can figure it out." If you have any difficulties, you can directly report to me. Since we have spent energy to keep this person, the security department must make the best use of his talents and let him play his due role."

"Don't worry, Mr. Tao, the security department will definitely handle this matter beautifully!" As the initiator of this matter, Hao Wanqing will undoubtedly have the greatest sense of accomplishment when he can finally see that this matter has achieved the expected results.If it wasn't for his recommendation, Li Qingyang would probably have to spend the rest of his life in the coal mine of Heitugang Coal Mine as Yan Chujie threatened.For this reason, he has persuaded Li Qingyang many times in various ways, overt or covert, in the early stage. Yan Chujie's appearance today is more of a finishing touch in his leadership role. Hao Wanqing still had a head start.

Of course, instigating against Li Qingyang was not only one of Hao Wanqing's achievements in his career, but also an important achievement since the establishment of the Security Department.The Ministry of Security's work has always focused on Daming, and even He Xi, the head of the agency, is always stationed in Guangzhou to preside over the work.And the main competitor of the Ministry of Security on the intelligence front is undoubtedly Daming Jinyiwei.

Although it is true that with Haihan's current strength, there is no need to have too much fear of Jin Yiwei, the style of the security department has always been to prevent problems before they happen, and will not wait until something really happens to start thinking about it.If it can block the opponent's way of attack, the Ministry of Security doesn't mind at all making the first move—not to mention Jin Yiwei has already stepped on the door on his own initiative.

After rebelling against Li Qingyang, first of all, relying on his identity, the Sanya area under Haihan's rule will continue to maintain a state of information isolation from the intelligence agencies of the Ming Dynasty. Optional operating space.The second function is to use Li Qingyang to gradually understand the way Jinyiwei handles affairs, and what loopholes and loopholes in Jinyiwei's daily operations can be exploited.Although Li Qingyang's official position in Jinyiwei is only a member of a hundred households, he is directly under the Nanjing Yamen of Jinyiwei, and the level of information he can get in touch with is far from comparable to that of his colleagues on Qiongzhou Island.Hao Wanqing tried his best to poach him, hoping that one day he would be able to pry his mouth open and reveal more of Jin Yiwei's secrets.

Of course, since Li Qingyang had chosen to compromise after repeated persuasion, Hao Wanqing thought that he would probably take the initiative to explain the problem after a while.As Yan Chujie mentioned in the meeting, as long as Li Qingyang gradually realizes Haihan's strength, he will find that his previous insistence is really meaningless. The difference in social development between the two sides does not depend on the individual efforts of a few intelligence personnel can make up for it.The black technologies that Li Qingyang had never heard of in Haihan's hands were enough to defeat his last line of defense. Not only Hao Wanqing, Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie who participated in this matter also held the same opinion.

The security department's work efficiency is undoubtedly in the forefront among many Haihan institutions. That night, Hao Wanqing approached Li Qingyang with the drafted agreement and asked him to transcribe it by himself, and then signed it at the signing place. handprint.The next morning, the "Explanation on the Recent Instigation of Jinyiwei Personnel" was sent to Tao Donglai's office. After Tao Donglai signed the opinion, the security department immediately took the document to the Military Commission to ask Yan Chujie to sign the opinion.The executive committee meeting will be held the next day. This proposal drafted by the security department and signed by two executive committee members can be brought up for discussion in time. Getting passed at the meeting is basically a certainty.
