Great Qing Dynasty talker

Chapter 337: Li Yu missed a step in calculation, and the Intelligence Agency spared his life to make up for it!

Following the instructions of the Military Aircraft Department, Ge Peifei, the commander-in-chief of Jinmen Town, rushed back to Dagukou that day.

Tight inside and loose outside, be careful about strain.

The garrison of the fort must be full, and a man must be left beside each cannon. All the guns were aimed at the several Saxon warships parked and resting.

After that, the supply of vegetables, rice, noodles and meat to the battleships was suddenly cut off.

The captain of the "Portsmouth", with the assistance of an interpreter, took a small sampan ashore to negotiate.

The negotiation process was friendly but not smooth.

Ge Beifei spread his hands.

He said that this was a matter for the central government, and the rewards allocated by the capital had been used up. Therefore, they need to report to the court and wait for the court's approval.

……

After receiving Ge Peifei's instructions,

You can't let us eat, right? Since you won't reward us, it makes sense for us to buy the ingredients ourselves, right?

Soon, the chef on the ship came up saying "fxxk".

The captain returned angrily. Although he thought this matter was a bit strange, he didn't think much about it.

It is unbelievable that a diplomatic mission was blatantly killed during a visit to the capital of a non-enemy country. Even more terrifying than a living miko.

Since the officials have said this, the people around Dagukou can naturally feel confident and bold to trick foreigners and do justice to God!

The Green Camp soldiers began to spread the news intentionally or unintentionally:

It's just a negotiation. If you can't agree on a price, you will kill someone? This is not an emperor, this is a madman.

He was also confused as to why the friendly relationship suddenly turned into a hostile relationship.

All in all, it was calm in Dagukou.

The angry sailor took up his musket, and this act of revenge was stopped by the captain.

And new supply channels have also emerged~
People around Dagukou came in boats to trade. Various small boats shuttle around non-stop every day.

The food on the ship began to be in embarrassment, all kinds of food gradually became scarce, and fresh water began to be scarce.

But Jiang Tianmu was not calm.

Lieutenant General Zhenbiao sighed and went back to inspect the fort.

Although there is no ban on people selling food and water for profit, it does not prevent them from doing small things.

The prices of vegetables and fruits began to soar, and they began to be in short supply, and even inferior goods were sold as good ones.

after all,

"Have you ever seen anything wrong?"

Ge Beifei could only report the situation again and did not do anything to stop it.

Lion number,
A sailor opened the basket he had just pulled up and found that it was full of rotten vegetables.

……

"It's broken, it's broken. The pigeons are released early."

"Team leader, I swear to God that I will never get it wrong."

"Chief Rong, do you want to send troops to prohibit people from trading?"

……

"Team leader, we still have two pigeons. Send the latest information quickly."

2 days later,

"No! The meaning above is very subtle. It just says to stop the food supply and does not ask us to blockade and start a war. If we ban the trade, it is equivalent to telling the barbarians that we are going to deal with them."

The court's current attitude is ambiguous and wavering. If he starts a provocation indiscriminately, if the trend changes in the future, all the responsibility will be on him, and the head on his neck will fall to the ground.

……

The Yi people are not good people. The Yi envoys are a bit unruly in the capital. The Yi ships have a lot of money. You don't have to be so down-to-earth in doing business, you can be more ruthless.

"Hey, stop."

"Ugh!"

However, the fishermen who had already taken the money rowed the boat and ran away without looking back.

Sitting in the position of commander-in-chief, he naturally knows something about politics.

then,

An operative under his command, who was extremely skilled in qinggong, witnessed with his own eyes the Saxons sitting in sedans and being escorted by a large number of Qing troops back to the post house.

Holding a little pig in his hand:
"Look, a 50-pound pig has at least 5 pounds of pebbles and 5 pounds of salt water in its stomach. These damn treacherous people with long braids."

Anyway, the local officials of the Qing court did not explicitly prohibit it.

After urgent discussions among several captains, they decided to send people to row boats to nearby villages to buy fresh ingredients on their own.

"Put it p. If you create such a big mess, can you and I still save our heads? If Your Majesty doesn't kill us, the director will also take action."

Everyone's face turned blue, and the rules in the intelligence agency were strict.

Years ago, the Huai'an Operation Team of the Intelligence Agency made a major mistake. Three people below the team leader were recalled and then executed.

Liu Qian often says something:

"I have never treated you badly in terms of money or women. From top to bottom in the Wu Kingdom, is there any government agency that spends money as freely as our Intelligence Agency? At the critical moment, I will chop off the head of anyone who loses the chain."

Therefore,
Everyone understood that the Director was definitely not trying to scare people, but was serious about it.

……

Jiang Tianmu looked around everyone and said slowly:
"I'm going to ask Director Jia for instructions first. You all should be prepared. Even if it's an assassination, the relationship between the Qing court and Saxon will be completely broken. Do you understand?"

"clear."

Fahui Temple, side courtyard.

Miekong was chopping firewood. He was dressed in coarse cloth, which was in line with the simplicity of a monk.

"Senior brother, the young monk will go out for a while."

"Hmph, go ahead."

Jia Xiao was really embarrassed because the banner woman who introduced him to place orders that day, named Fei Yang from Guo Luo Luo, was here again.

And looking at the servants, it seems that he belongs to a wealthy family.

"The female donor is well."

"Hello, Master Wu Zhen. This is a little thought for the Bodhisattva. Please don't refuse."

A letter of silver, some plain noodles, some fruits and vegetables, and a few monk robes made of high-quality fabrics.

"Scutellaria baicalensis is not false, asafoetida is not true. Did the master's name come from here?"

Jia Xiaozhen's heart skipped a beat:

Damn it, this bitch doesn’t like me anymore, does she?

At this juncture, we can't let anything go wrong. I have to find a way to cut off this bad relationship.

So he said calmly:

"There is no self between true and false. Just observe that everything is empty. The female donor is very knowledgeable."

Everything is empty, naturally including women.

……

The woman tightened her fox fur cloak, probably understanding.

laughed:

"Master, are you willing to perform a water and land ritual for my parents who have passed away long ago?"

"Of course you can. May I ask what the name of your majesty is? Longevity?"

"Can not remember."

Fei Yang's answer was so sad that he was stunned.

Would a girl from a wealthy family in Beijing not remember her parents’ names? This is too unreasonable.

In a flash,

He felt a chill on his back, wondering if he had stepped into a pit.

When he looked up again, he found that the woman was smiling too.

"You guys, step back first."

"Yes."

Several maids and women quietly retreated 20 steps.

"A woman of faith should not deceive the master. Guo Luoluo is just a pseudonym. I am a Han woman, and my real name is Xiao~"

"Slow down." Jia Xiaozhen interrupted decisively, "Donors don't need to say much. The so-called distant things are fate, and the near ones are causes. There is no need for the female donor to be sad. Home is where she feels at ease. The young monk knows a little about facial features and can observe the fate of the female donor. There are many misfortunes and uncertainties, but the future will be precious. "

……

"is it?"

Obviously, the woman didn't quite believe it.

She is He Shen's concubine, Xiao Qi. The pseudonym is just to avoid some trouble. She often comes to Fahui Temple to offer incense and is one of the most important pilgrims (financiers).

"The female donor has sword-shaped eyebrows and starry eyes, a plain and shaved face, a high nose, a heroic face, and an unyielding spirit in her bones."

Xiao Qi was stunned for a moment, thoughtful.

Suddenly asked:

"Can you do a fortune-telling for Xinnu?"

"Being from a humble background, wandering around among nobles, if you can see through the secrets of heaven and no longer be devastated, you may be able to do whatever comes your way~"

"Or what?"

Jia Xiaozhen shook his head:

"It can't be said, it can't be said." "Let me ask you again, master. The faithful girl lives deep in the house and is often restless. There is no way to relieve her depression in the middle of the month. How can we achieve a peaceful and ordinary life?"

"If a person wants to enjoy a plain and peaceful life, he must have wisdom and understanding."

"Is there any other way?"

"Read a thousand sails!"

……

"Thank you, Master."

Xiao Qi silently stood up and left, whispering a few words to the maid.

The maid came over and quietly left a banknote:
"Miss's hexagram gold."

Jia Xiaozhen hesitated for a moment and accepted the silver note which had a slight scent of powder.

He turned around and entered the woodshed, throwing it to Miekong who was chopping wood.

"Is it time for dinner?"

"Alchemy, this is called alms."

Miekong patted the dust on his hands, unfolded it and took a look, his eyes lit up. 500 taels is an extraordinary shot.

So he chased him out the door:

"Hey, junior brother, senior brother, I can take whatever flowers I want, okay?"

"what ever."

Miekong smiled brightly and walked out of the temple swaggeringly. Prepare to give Nancheng a wave of soup.

Common people don’t understand the joy of spending money to help others.

As for doing good deeds and getting into a lot of trouble, that's a concern for kind people. The poor monk has a fist as big as a copper bowl and a magic weapon that can break flesh and blood. He is very scared. At worst, he can save one or two evil animals on the spot.

……

Jia Xiaozhen was meditating and silently knocking on the wooden fish.

There was an additional figure on the futon beside him.

Jiang Tianmu came quietly as a pilgrim, clasped his palms together, looked at the glaring Arhat statue, and whispered:
"Something happened and the Qing government let the Saxon mission go."

"Why?"

"I asked Yin Zi to inquire about it, and the mission was temporarily placed under house arrest. But the Qing government did not dare to kill them, so they were in a stalemate. We wanted to kill ourselves and assassinate the Saxons."

Jia Xiaozhen tapped the wooden fish in a steady rhythm.

"Don't be impulsive. Let Jingqi pull out the thorns, incite, incite, incite. Didn't you, Director Liu, tell you about the old things in Jingzhou?"

……

Jiang Tianmu quietly exited Fahui Temple.

Knock on the door and sneak into the house.

"Don't disturb me for half an hour."

"Yes."

Within the Intelligence Agency, similar experiences have been summarized.

Because Liu Qian had doubts about certain key points, after consulting His Majesty, he asked the Publicity Department to help analyze some issues.

"lurking in the enemy's city and mobilizing the people" is one of the most critical tasks.

As Liu's confidant, Jiang Tianmu has received similar advanced experience and education.

He wrote on paper,
Goal: Instigate the Eight Banners of the Capital to take the initiative to attack the Lifanyuan Post House.

Method: respect the emperor and fight against the barbarians, arousing the anger of the capital flag. The vague point is, barbarians = Saxons, not standing out = disloyal to the Qing Dynasty, whoever dares to stop = treacherous.

Warm-up: Send a message of warning to the Saxon flying arrows in the inn.

Handicap: Use money to make friends with one or two down-and-out bannermen.

Archfire: Shoot Jingqi or Saxon when necessary.

……

Jiang Tianmu quickly put the outline of the plan on paper as described in the course.

Open the door:

"Everyone, come in."

Each link is implemented separately by people.

After that, everyone performed their duties and started taking action.

In many famous theaters in the capital, square rice paper suddenly fell from the sky.

The audience exploded when they picked it up and saw it. The above content is very provocative, vividly describing the shamelessness of the barbarians and the shame of the Qing Dynasty.

Wait until the Shuntian Mansion Yamen reacts and confiscates these things.

Too many bannermen have circulated it and read it, and many of them have kept it privately at home.

One passage is particularly fatal:

The six traitors in the court deceived the emperor and protected the barbarians. The barbarians were still living in the post house at this time, drinking tea worth 500 taels per catty, eating 1 taels per catty of veal provided by Huangzhuang, and drinking 20-year-old wine. There were also two bannermen women in the room. Serve.

The Lord is worried about the labor of his ministers, and the Lord humiliates his ministers to death!
As a member of the Qing Dynasty, how can we do nothing and watch the barbarians leave?

Protect the Qing Dynasty, but not the barbarians. The men of Beijing Banner took up the swords left by their ancestors. Three days later, at Shenshi, all the sages gathered outside the post house to respect the emperor and fight against the barbarians!
Many people watched it with excitement and eager to fight.

……

According to the textbooks of the Intelligence Agency, brothels and gambling houses are good places to make friends. In these places, it is easy for men to find a common language and shorten the distance.

Teahouses are not good, they can easily lead to quarrels and are a place of right and wrong.

Jiang Tianmu played a few games in a low-end gambling hall, and then he spotted a very suitable candidate.

The man playing dice in the casino shook the dice violently and asked:

"Gentlemen, let's place your bets and leave."

……

The five people around the table immediately put the money in their hands under their favorite choices.

One side says big and the other side says small.

All 4 people bet on small, but this guy is different.

Judging from his appearance, he looks like a banner man, with a yellowish complexion, thin and fleshless body, and shining eyes.

He stood up, stepped on the stool with his left foot, raised his right hand high, raised his head, his eyes were firm and aloof, and took a photo when his right hand was raised to the highest point.

Bang, dust rose from the elm table.

A piece of silver was photographed in the "big" area.

Due to the excessive force, a lock of his hair fell down, covering his eyes.

"Master Ying is so impressive, tsk tsk."

Amid everyone's malicious compliments, the guy threw his head back and successfully moved his hair.

The tureen was opened and everyone burst into laughter.

Small!
Master Ying lost the money he had just exchanged from the pawn shop in one fell swoop.

When he left lonely, his unruly back was heartbreaking.

Jiang Tianmu secretly rejoiced, it’s you.

He walked forward quickly and patted his shoulder.

"Is this Master Ying? Let me take a step to speak."

……

How to make friends as quickly as possible?

The answer is: money!
This answer covers all genders, including neither male nor female.

"Master Jiang, please."

"Master Ying, please come first."

When Liu Qian went out, he called himself Niu. When Jiang Tianmu goes out, he calls himself Jiang. There is nothing wrong with him. This is called inheritance.

The two of them were as polite as brothers. They found a quiet small building in Bada Hutong and had a great time.

This British man with a white flag, his family has been in ruins for a long time. For two generations, he has been raising soldiers and has never been able to find a serious job.

Raising soldiers is a reserve force.

Infantry, vest, and artillery are formal soldiers, and their pay and treatment are different.

Today he was serving as a copper basin at home, and when he passed by the casino, his hands itched and he wanted to turn over the book.

The result was nothing.

Fortunately, the God of Wealth descended from the sky and borrowed 10 taels of silver.

"A horse can't fatten without night grass, and a man can't get rich without windfall. Do you want to get ahead by relying on 2 taels of hard-core crops per month? Impossible. We have to take a gamble and make a fortune with taels."

Master Ying nodded frequently, feeling that he had met his soulmate today.

This is what dog betting is all about.

……

Jiang Tianmu saw that the fish had taken the bait and no longer tried to hide it:

"Now there is a chance to soar into the sky. Does Yingye know about the Yi Envoy?"

"I know. These grandsons are so bad~"

"Now that the public in the capital is boiling, all we need is a leader to cheer up. If you stand up and rely on your popularity, the government office will not be able to assign you a position in the fifth and sixth grades?"

Master Ying still had some brains and asked with a frown:
"You are a businessman from out of town, why are you so enthusiastic about our flag affairs in Forty-Nine City?"

"I'll tell you the truth. It's not easy to live in the capital. I know a little bit about the art of fortune-telling, passed down from my ancestors. I just want to find a supporter here." Jiang Tianmu knelt down on one knee at the right time and said, " Good luck to you."
