Years of the Republic of China 1913

The person who came was none other than Fang Zida's old acquaintance back then—Jin Jiu, this shabby boy from Eight Banners. I just needed to recruit some people of all levels and backgrounds to help me find out the news. I went back and forth to see Jin Jiu, although his character is not very good, but he has a wide network of contacts in Beijing, and he is born in the Eight Banners. down.

Afterwards, Fang Zida, who was outstanding due to the aftermath of the big loan, took up a position in Zhongyang, and then went south to suppress the rebellion and currency reform, etc., and he couldn't care about other things at all. At that time, he was preparing to cultivate Zhou Yuanliang to establish himself The intelligence network, and left Jin Jiu to his management.This time flies so fast, a few years have passed in a flash, and Jin Jiu has long been a subordinate of Zhou Yuanliang's intelligence agency. Asked about these little things.

"My little one, please greet Master Fang..." As soon as he entered the door, Jin Jiu quickly knelt down on one knee and shouted loudly.Since the Republic of China gradually became popular, the official rules of the Manchu Qing Dynasty have long since disappeared. On weekdays, Zheng Fu officials either handcuffed or shook hands when they met, and there was no scene of waving horseshoe sleeves and beating thousands.Today, Jin Jiu did this as soon as he entered the door, Fang Zida was taken aback, then couldn't help laughing again.

"Now it's the Republic of China, don't like this, get up."

"Master Fang is right, but the younger one is a banner man, and the rules of the banner man don't matter, but the younger one has to thank Fang Master...thank the military master." Jin Jiu stood up with a smile.Out of the corner of his eye, he glanced at Wu Peifu who was sitting on Fang Zida's left, and hurriedly cupped his hands.

"Jin Jiu, why did you come here today? I remember that you seem to be working in the General Staff Headquarters?" Fang Zida pointed to the sofa in front of him, motioned for Jin Jiu to sit down, and then asked a question.

Zhou Yuanliang's intelligence department was attached to the General Staff, so those of his subordinates more or less held positions in the General Staff.Although Jin Jiu's ability is not very good, after all, he is an old acquaintance.Moreover, this guy has a sweet mouth, and he knows how to deal with things. Zhou Yuanliang gave him a small rank of second lieutenant for his sake.It's just that this military rank is convenient for him to inquire about news and do things on weekdays, and he doesn't have any real power at all.

"Master Fang, my little one, today is..." he finished speaking.Jin Jiu rolled his eyes and looked at Wu Peifu who was sitting on the side.

"This is General Wu Ziyu, one of our own." Of course Fang Zida understood what he meant and said something.

"It turns out that you are General Ziyu. I have admired you for a long time." Hearing Wu Peifu's name, Jin Jiu hurriedly stood up and saluted again. Although he had never met Wu Peifu, he knew very well that Fang Zida's most powerful general was Wu Peifu when he worked under Zhou Yuanliang.

"Forget it, brother Zhang Ming is asking you something, so you can just answer it." Wu Peifu smiled and waved his hand.

"Yes!" Jin Jiu sat back again, half of his buttocks next to the sofa, and then continued: "I got some news a few days ago. According to the rules, it should be reported to Boss Zhou, but it happened that Boss Zhou was arrested. Master Fang sent out, but couldn't be contacted for a while. Because the news is of great importance, I can't delay it after thinking about it, so I dared to come to see Master Fang."

"Boss Zhou?" Fang Zida was slightly taken aback.Then there was a burst of laughter in the stomach.When did Zhou Yuanliang become the boss on Wednesday?But having said that, don't all the intelligence people like to call the leader the boss?Just like Dai Li Dai Boss?

Nodding his head, Fang Zida signaled Jin Jiu to continue talking.

"Just the other day, several people under Prince Su's subordinates came to Beijing suddenly. They found a lot of people from the Eight Banners to gather for tea and dinner. Because the young one is also a bannerman, and he is also in the general staff. So they inquired Later, I found the little one. Originally, the little one just thought that he couldn't get along outside and came to fight the autumn wind. He thought that for the sake of the same clan, it should be a little help, as the saying goes. , who has never been unable to live? I think that when I was young, I was sitting and eating at home, if I hadn’t met Master Fang later..." As he spoke, Jin Jiu started to chatter, and just said a few words about Fang Zida’s good words. , looked up and saw Fang Zida's expression was a little gloomy, and suddenly came to his senses, and slapped himself lightly.

"Look at my bad mouth, what's the point of talking and talking about business, what should be hit." After slapping a few times in a pretentious manner, Jin Jiu continued with a smile: "When we meet each other, I will know that it is not true at all." As for that matter, how did Prince Su’s people come here to fight Qiu Feng?

Following Jin Jiu's narration, Fang Zida and Wu Peifu's expressions became more and more dignified, their eyes met slightly, and they frowned at the same time.

According to what Jin Jiu said, Prince Su's people not only wanted Jin Jiu to inquire about the secrets of the General Staff, but were also particularly interested in various military secrets of the Chinese Army, whether it was the composition of the troops, the configuration of equipment or The garrison situation even requires detailed lists of middle and lower-level officers at all levels and so on.

"How did you answer them at that time?" Fang Zida interjected and asked.

"Hey." Jin Jiu grinned, with a proud expression on his face: "It goes without saying, don't say that the little ones don't know these secrets at all, even if they know, how can they tell outsiders? Although the little one is a bannerman, but now It’s not the world of the Qing Dynasty, the small ones eat the food of the Republic of China, and the loyal ones are for Master Fang, so how can you help these guys with things?”

After a few words, Jin Jiu said again: "Of course, the little one was careful at the time, and he didn't refuse outright, but agreed vaguely, lest these guys jump over the wall in a hurry. Later, the little one Taking advantage of the opportunity to treat them, I poured them a few more glasses, trying to get a good feel for their bottom line, but a few guys are very tight-lipped, and they can't find out if there are many, but they accidentally showed a little bit."

"Let's get straight to the point!" Wu Peifu couldn't help being displeased when he saw Jin Jiu rambling on and on for a long time.

"Yes, yes." Jin Jiu nodded again and again, leaning forward and said mysteriously: "Among the few people who came said to be a banner man, but he was actually a Ri himself with a very strange name, called Chuan Langdao , Damn, are you still making waves? This guy seems to be the leader, and he is planning to do something big with Prince Su. I heard from them that if this thing is done, the one in the Forbidden City can... "

Speaking of this, Jin Jiu immediately shut his mouth. Although he didn't finish speaking, everyone present knew what he meant.

"You did a good job." Fang Zida rarely praised Jin Jiu, and asked, "Is there anything else besides this?"

"That's not the case, but..." Jin Jiu showed some embarrassment, and said, "Master Fang, I should have told Boss Zhou about this first, but Boss Zhou happened to be away, and at that time the young man was vague I readily agreed, these people have been staring at me very closely for the past few days, and I really can't make up my mind what to do next, so I ask Master Fang to show me."

This is a problem. Fang Zida smoked a cigarette and thought about it. Zhou Yuanliang was indeed not in the capital for the past few days. He went to the south on business some time ago, so it might take a few days before he comes back.And it's not appropriate to entrust this matter to others. Jin Jiu did nothing wrong by coming to him like this. On the contrary, Fang Zida had to praise Jin Jiu for his outstanding performance.Looking at Wu Peifu with probing eyes, Wu Peifu seemed to have an idea when he rolled his eyes, and whispered a few words in Fang Zida's ear.

Nodding slightly, Fang Zida felt that Wu Peifu's suggestion was good. Fang Zida said to Jin Jiu: "You did a good job in this matter. In this way, you continue to deal with them to keep their appetites. General Ziyu will give you some information in a few days. You can take it." If you want something, just say that you can inquire about it. As for the rest, you should know how to do it."

"That's good! Xiao Xiao understands, understands!" Jin Jiu's brain is still flexible, and he immediately understood Fang Zida's words, and immediately smiled.

"In addition, in order to commend your contribution this time, Fang will ask the General Staff to promote you tomorrow. Are you still a second lieutenant? If you are promoted to a higher rank, you will be given the rank of lieutenant. And this is for you, please accept it." Next. Work hard! The future is bright!"

Walking to the desk and opening the drawer, Fang Zida took out the checkbook and signed a check of 500 oceans and handed it to Jin Jiu. When Jin Jiu saw it, he was overjoyed. He was smug that he had the foresight. Yes, where can I find such a good thing, Jin Jiu's mouth can hardly be closed with a smile.

After Jin Jiu left, the smile on Fang Zida's face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a gloomy expression.

"The Socialist Party!"

"That's right, it is indeed the Socialist Party. It seems that Japan is really going to war." Wu Peifu nodded aside and said, "Fortunately, Jin Jiu reported it in time. If the news is revealed and Japan knows that we will declare war on the Allies in advance , Ri himself will be passive if he takes the first shot."

"Yes!" Fang Zida agreed. Since Japan sent a lot of spies to China a few years ago, and under Fang Zida's arrangement, there were inexplicably heavy casualties. I used people from the Socialist Party to sneak into Beijing to inquire about news, and I really took great pains.As for the Japanese who Jin Jiu said was called Chuan Langdao, Fang Zida knew who he was after a little thought. This man was the famous Kawashima Naniwa, a Japanese ronin, a veteran spy and Japanese militarism fanatics, and Naniwa Kawashima and Prince Su Shanqi colluding together are one of the backers of the Zongsha Party. They also have a common daughter who is well-known in modern history. She is known as Mata Hari of the East's "Men's Spy" - Yoshiko Kawashima. (To be continued..)
