Lu Ming

Chapter 333 Recruiting Journey ([-])

It was Ma Yue, deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau, who entered the door.

This gentleman is from Shanghai, and he worked in the security department before crossing, so he is considered a rare professional in the intelligence community.

In view of this, the task of in charge of agent training fell on him.In addition, he is also responsible for inspecting intelligence stations in various places and providing technical guidance and short-term training to the Ling Lingqi who have become monks halfway, so Ma Yue is very busy.

It was just a coincidence that he met Yu Xianke at Zhongzuo Institute today.Because Zhang Dongdong, the nominal boss of Zhongzuo Institute, is still a member of the staff, and Sha Zhengming, who is in charge of the military, usually does not get involved in such matters, so Ma Yue, who came to Zhongzuo Institute for inspection at the first stop after the annual meeting, just filled in the hole.

Ma Yue naturally knew about Yu Xianke's background.So after receiving the sentry's request, Dang immediately ordered someone to bring him in.After that, Ma Yue looked at the information in the computer again, and came to the reception room after he knew what he knew.

After the two sides simply exchanged hands and reported their families to each other, Yu Xianke learned that the person in front of him was surnamed Ma and was Cao Chuan's aide.

"You don't need to be polite, Junshi Yu, please sit down."

Yu Xianke, who stood up to salute seeing the visitor's neither salty nor indifferent attitude, didn't mind.If you are looking for a door-to-door business, it's good if people don't give you a cold face.

After sitting face to face in front of a long table, Ma Yue spread out a palm, indicating that the other party could speak.

Seeing the strangely dressed, tall man in front of him making gestures that didn't look like a staff member at all, Yu Xianke probably understood: this group of people seemed to not talk about red tape and politeness, and acted rather bluntly, so he could only Confidentially tell the truth.

"Congratulations to General Cao's rule of Fujian now. My master's admiration is only that if you cooperate, you will benefit from it and you will suffer from it."

Yu Xianke tried his best to express his intention of coming with more euphemistic words, and the whole process took about 5 minutes.During this period, Ma Yue did not disturb the other party, and sat there quietly listening to what the other party said.

Then he smiled silently, then sat up from the chair and said, "It's a bit difficult to listen to my polite words. Mr. Yu, if I'm not mistaken, shopkeeper Liu sent you here to recruit security and surrender?"

Yu Xianke was still not used to this hard-spoken way of speaking, but the matter had come to an end, he could only nod his head slowly.

"only."

"Stop."

Just when Yu Xianke was about to add a few words, Ma Yue stopped him with a wave of his hand: "As for this matter, I will report to the general before making a decision. Don't worry, the time will be very fast, and it should not exceed tomorrow."

"However." Ma Yue had already stood up at this time: "I personally feel that your negotiation level should not be enough."

After Ma Yue said this, he nodded slightly, then turned and went out the door, leaving the surprised Yu Xianke sitting there alone in a daze.Then the guard quickly entered the house and motioned for the latter to follow him out.

It took less than 10 minutes from the beginning of the conversation to being presented with gifts, which made Yu Xianke very depressed.Although he could feel that the other party was not deliberately perfunctory, but habitual, he was still not used to this fast-paced office style.

On the way back from Suocheng, Yu Xianke was at a loss.The strange environment, the strange bureaucratic system, and the strange way of thinking all made him feel helpless—from the moment the other party refused to accept the gift, in fact, Yu Xianke, a traditional character, could no longer handle it.

After returning to the inn, he asked again at the shopkeeper, and after learning that the local government really did not accept gifts, he was relieved a little.However, even so, he was still worried: Ma Yue felt that he was not qualified, and the implication was that shopkeeper Liu should come in person. How could shopkeeper Liu, who has a ghost in his heart, agree?

Early the next morning, the delegation staying in the inn received a message from the courier: The city invites Yu Junshi.

After seeing the visitor, Junshi Yu didn't dare to neglect, so he hurried out to Suocheng to wait for the audience.Today he learned how to behave, he didn't bring any entourage, and he didn't hire a carriage - if he didn't bring gifts, the city was not far from the inn, just a few steps away.

It's still that room, it's still Comrade Ma Yue.

Today's Ma Yue is even more straightforward, because he had already communicated with the cabinet by telegram yesterday, and the answer he got was indeed: "According to the established policy."

So he ended the meeting in only one minute: "The general only negotiates with Liu Xiang himself, and the rest of the idlers will not be accompanied!"

The empire's attitude towards Liu Xiang Group is very clear: no matter whether he surrenders or not, he has to go to Guangdong to make trouble.When the officialdom in Guangdong was forced to "lead wolves into the house" and send an official document to dispatch Cao's soldiers and horses into Guangdong to suppress bandits, when Liu Xiang's historical mission was completed.

So here is a kind of attitude towards Liu Xiang: if you sincerely want to surrender, then please kowtow single-handedly, and then "take orders" to continue to be a pirate in Guangdong, and then openly surrender, and it is still okay to keep your seat in the CPPCC of.

It doesn't matter if you don't have the guts to surrender.At the right time, there will naturally be a fleet starting from Xiamen to drive you to Guangdong to continue to be a pirate, but if you are so passive, Liu's ending will definitely not be too good.

This is the reason why a certain military adviser who came to explore the way was treated coldly: the cross-travelers had to put on a cold look to put pressure on Liu Xiang, forcing him to abandon his illusions and choose one of the two extremes.

Rao Yu Xianke had already had a bad premonition before, but when he stood outside the city gate and recalled the scene just now, he still couldn't help burning with anger: Do you really treat my gang of tens of thousands of brothers as nothing? ?Sent it in one sentence! ?
However, the reality is so cruel. After Mr. Yu returned to the inn on foot, his anger subsided after a short walk. The so-called tens of thousands of brothers dare not even come around Xiamen, so they will be looked down upon. ?

"It seems that he has been taken into account." After thinking for a long time in the guest room alone, Yu Xianke had the most intuitive characterization of Kunren's malice.

"Since that's the case, it's not suitable to stay here for a long time." After thinking about the cause and effect, Yu Xianke planned to leave.It is comfortable to live in the inn, but the host does not welcome it, so it is useless to stay in vain.

So early the next morning, the Qingfu sailed northward and headed straight for Fuzhou.

Filled with melancholy and helplessness, Yu Xianke arrived at the pier outside Fuzhou seven days later.Standing on the ship tower, looking at the majestic ancient city and the old bluestone wharf approaching in front of him, he felt inexplicably kind at this moment: the fast-paced later style of Xiamen Port made him extremely uncomfortable.

After the ship docked at the port, Yu Xianke was in a happy mood watching his attendants negotiate, quarrel, and bargain with the tax collectors who jumped on board, and in the end, both the public and private individuals had to pay the money.

That's right, this is the Daming style that Yu Xianke is used to.

After collecting the fees, the tax collector left with a smile on his face, without any intention of inspecting the goods.The boat passengers moved the salutes off the boat very skillfully, hired sedan chairs and carriages at the pier, went all the way to the city smoothly, and stayed in an inn.

However, Master Yu, who was sitting in the sedan chair along the way, was in a bad mood again: the clean streets, the cleaners in uniforms, the latrines at the crossroads, and the disappearing crowd of beggars. All these made his mind clouded again. In the shadows, I felt a fear of being remotely controlled by the "Cao family".

Although the main "business" of selling recognition flags has now shrunk, and the pirates have turned to underground activities, the staff of the refurbished office are still running some ordinary commercial strongholds.So after entering Fuzhou City and settling down, the delegation quickly contacted the local informant.

At this time, Yu Xianke's experience came in handy.

He first met with an informant.This person is a small official in the chief envoy's yamen, named Jin Luo.The shop in Jin Luo's family has been dealing in Liu Xiang's goods and stolen goods for many years, so everyone belongs to a community of interests.

After Jin Luo received the instructions and a batch of gifts, he quickly visited a Qingke friend in the Governor's Yamen, and after being recommended by the Qingke, Jin Luo was able to meet and talk to the Governor's Yamen. An important person in the painting: Huang Ping and Huang Zanhua.

From this point, it can be seen that the pirates are indeed not what they used to be, at least in the current Fujian.

In the past, it was not difficult for a spokesperson of a powerful force like Liu Xiang to meet Xiong Wencan; if it was some critical time, the government would take the initiative to send someone to contact the offices that sell the recognition flag.

However, times have changed, and after just half a year, the Qingping atmosphere has made people in Fuzhou begin to blur the concept of "pirates". That would take a lot of trouble.

So after presenting gifts and a sum of money, Yu Xianke finally got a chance to treat Huang Zanhua to dinner at noon on the seventh day when he came to Fuzhou City. A lobbying fee.

Logically speaking, Yu Xianke's series of operations are relatively safe and reasonable.Under normal circumstances, after today, people will report to Lao Xiong in a more gentle tone about the goodwill released by the Liu Xiang gang and certain conditions for recruiting security, so as to pave the way for future exchanges between the two parties. good foundation.

However, it's not that the national army doesn't work hard, but the Communist army has such a thing. If you find Mr. Huang's door, isn't it a self-inflicted trap?

After seeing Master Yu that day, no one knows how Master Huang went back to tell stories about Lao Xiong, but the feedback from the governor’s yamen came soon afterward——Xiong Fujun immediately stated his position after hearing about it: Let Liu Xiang come forward and speak .

Yu Xianke was dumbfounded: Why is it the same as Cao's formulation?Could it be that Xiong Wencan listened to Cao's bewitchment?

He guessed right, since he sailed northward from Xiamen, the news of him had been sent to Fuzhou by telegram, and Huang Ping had already made preparations for his visit.

In other words, even if Yu Xianke finds someone else, Huang Zanhua will eventually break the matter and mess things up in front of Lao Xiong.

Yu Xianke's journey to Zhao'an was shamefully smothered in the cradle.
