Chapter 706 Activities in Guangzhou

Lin Baiguang paid attention to the yard outside.The weather is already a little cooler, and even if you are outside, you can't feel the summer heat.It is completely different from his feelings in the old time and space.

You know, this is still the Southland.In the old time and space, he once went to Shenzhen for a meeting in November. The sun at noon could make people sweat, and he couldn't wear a jacket, so he could only wear a shirt to the street.

However, this time and space is much colder. After a few rains, the temperature has plummeted to below [-] degrees.He stretched himself.He noticed that Chen Tong, who was standing guard at the gate of the yard, was standing meticulously, looking very alert.

Lin Baiguang moved from Qiongshan to Guangzhou to prepare for work in Guangzhou, and brought Chen Tong as his assistant.

On the Qiongshan side, there is no need for too complicated intelligence work-the fall of this place will happen sooner or later.After the fall was the job of the Political Security Service.

He let Gao Di continue to stay in the local area, formally managing and manipulating the intelligence network headed by Ma Benyuan-until it was handed over to the "neighbor" after occupying Qiongshan.As for some powerful figures in Ma Benyuan's intelligence network, Lin Baiguang considered transferring them to Guangdong for employment on the ground.

Now Chen Tong's specific position in the Guangzhou Secret Service has not been announced, but he generally plays the role of the chief secretary of the Guangzhou Secret Service.All income from intelligence information and task assignments are handled through him.In most cases, Lin Baiguang only had contact with him and his confidential secretary.Chen Tong has a lot of things to do, and there are thousands of threads.However, Lin Baiguang looked coldly and thought that he was doing everything in an orderly manner.

The child's growth is getting bigger and bigger.Lin Baiguang thought to himself that he might be a promising talent in the future.

After taking him to Guangzhou, in order to see if he would be confused in this colorful world, Lin Baiguang deliberately gave him a few opportunities to work outside, allowing him to fully appreciate the charm of life in the big city, and then suddenly let him do back office work .I couldn't go out for many days.Assign him even the most boring and menial jobs to fully observe his performance.

Chen Tong's performance satisfied him.Lin Baiguang thought, this person's heart is as deep as water, neither anxious nor dry, and he is a material for intelligence.

This is the temporary office of Guangzhou Station.Strictly speaking, it is the office of the intelligence department of Guangzhou Station.It has been three days since he took over the plate from Zhang Xin.Right now, the Guangzhou secret service led by Lin Baiguang mainly collects public sentiment, political sentiment, and business sentiment, and the other is special propaganda.The intelligence personnel and materials originally managed and controlled by Zhang Xin were basically handed over here.

Lin Baiguang took over all the intelligence work and intelligence relations of the Guangzhou Station as a matter of course.In the past few days, he has been very busy. In addition to receiving the intelligence system, he also met with the staff of the secret service headquarters.

According to the intelligence work regulations formulated by Jiang Shan, Li Yan and others, "relationships", "insiders" and "spotting" belong to the reconnaissance network respectively, and each reconnaissance network has an instructor to vertically control the scouts.The communication between the instructor and the headquarters of the secret service is carried out in sections through traffic stations.If there is a problem in a link, it can be easily cut off.

The instructors were all returning from Lingao rotation training or indigenous intelligence students trained by Class A of the Intelligence Bureau.Lin Baiguang also directly commanded the Guangzhou Station Security Department.The security department consists of more than 40 people.Responsible for security work.Since this group of people basically came from the Escort Bureau, the traditional "wude" thinking is very heavy.Therefore, Lin Baiguang didn't want them to do wet work, and mainly sent them for organ and personal protection.

Lin Baiguang sits in the organ, like a spider staying in the center of a spider web, he can immediately feel the subtle tremors of every link.

The task he received was to do everything possible to facilitate the negotiation between the Guangdong official circles and Lingao, and to restore the trade between the two sides.to this end.He is actively working hard to open up contacts with local officials and gentry to lobby.He has a good grasp of the attitude of every official in Guangdong officialdom and the attitude of the gentry.

Now, negotiating peace has become the general trend, and the remaining resistance is obviously concentrated on Wang Zunde and Gao Shunqin.Wang Zunde fell ill in Zhaoqing, and his condition fluctuated from good to bad. Even if he survived, the day of resignation would not be far away.Gao Shunqin's official career is still going well, and it is said that the holy family is not bad.Lin Baiguang believes that the biggest obstacle to peace talks is not Wang Zunde but the Guangdong inspector.

Wang Zunde's attitude is no war, no peace, but his staff and subordinates, including the generals of the Ming army in Guangdong, all hope to reach an agreement with the Australians as soon as possible.Avoid continuing to fight to cause worse consequences.Although Lu Yizhong's letter last time did not get a response from Wang Zunde.The negotiating mission originally planned to go to Macau failed.However, it is clear from the "relationship" installed in Wang Zunde's shogunate: including his most trusted aide, Li Xijue, they all hope to contact the Australians—at least he can be trapped in Qiongshan. The remnants of Bin and others were rescued, reducing some of the shock to the government and the public.

With such a foundation, Lin Baiguang is full of confidence in Wang Zunde's work.

And Gao Shunqin has always been known for his tough attitude.Not only because he has a particularly strong idea of ​​the distinction between Hua and Barbarians, but also he has no commercial interests in Guangdong's maritime trade, and he is not responsible for specific military and government affairs. All the success or failure consequences of wars, blockades, etc. are not directly related to his interests. .Although this person is not as clear as water and as clear as a mirror, he is determined not to accept bribes that go against his own beliefs and ideals—otherwise the Portuguese would have bought him long ago.So Gao Shunqin is the most difficult person to deal with.

Lin Baiguang decided to focus on Gao Shunqin in the work negotiation.

But how to get this, he has not yet considered a specific method.

"Master." Chen Tong whispered outside the window in the courtyard.

"what's up?"

"A new report has arrived."

"Bring it in!" Lin Baiguang ordered.

A thick book was brought into his office.He flipped through the latest news summary, all of which were Guangzhou local intelligence in the last 72 hours--not very important but might be of reference value.The most important thing is that the time limit for the delivery of information in Guangzhou to the agency is generally no more than 4 hours.

He first opened up some news from the "relationship" of the governor's office: Li Fengjie sent an aide to Macau, the purpose of which was unknown.The news cheered him up.Why did you suddenly send people to Macau?Macau is under the jurisdiction of Xiangshan County.As usual, official affairs are handled by the Xiangshan County Prime Minister who is in charge of Macau affairs.As the governor of a province, Li Fengjie has absolutely no reason to send his staff to deal with official affairs in private.

Li Fengjie has no business in Macau-this is something that the Guangzhou secret service has already grasped.It is unlikely that he went to Macau for business or something.

The Foreign Intelligence Agency has no permanent personnel in Macau, only Zhang Xin has some "relationships" in the local area to report on the general business conditions and people's conditions in the local area.Of course, it was impossible to find out exactly what Li Fengjie's secret envoy was doing.

Lin Baiguang thought that it was obviously related to them that Li Fengjie sent people to Macau at this juncture.Must check to find out.Thinking of this, he told Chen Tong to come in.

"You go to do a few things right away. Li Fengjie sent someone to Macau. You pick someone, keep an eye on Li Fengjie's envoy to Macau, and try to find out what he is going to do when he sends someone to Macau."

Chen Tong nodded: "I'll go right away."

"One more thing. Is there anyone around Gao Shunqin who is related to us? Find out immediately and tell me."

"Understood." Chen Tong walked out immediately.

Lin Baiguang watched Chen Tong leave, and then began to look through the latest information summary.He picked the intelligence of some of the most important officials to look at first.A piece of information about Gao Shunqin's memorial to prohibiting the Portuguese from entering Guangzhou for trade, and prohibiting merchants from trading with the Portuguese, attracted him.

There must be a connection here!Lin Baiguang ordered someone to be sent immediately to find out whether Li Fengjie had mentioned anything related to the Portuguese in Macau recently.

It didn't take much effort for the intelligence agent to inquire about the news from the servants of Li's mansion - Li Fengjie once told the staff that they would not admit anything about Gao Shunqin's memorial inquired by the Frang machine.

Comparing this news with the general content of the memorial sent by Gao Shunqin, Lin Baiguang understood a little bit: Li Fengjie probably wanted something from the Portuguese, so he was afraid that the news of Gao Shunqin’s memorial would reach their ears—probably he also knew about the Guangzhou city. There is no secret to keep, so the caretaker came to "deadly refuse to admit it".

He rang the bell, and Lin Xuan, a confidential secretary of the secret service, walked in. This was the girl he bought with the maid's welfare money—a poor girl who only had a nickname.Lin Baiguang asked her to take his surname.According to the nature of Lin Baiguang's work, the general office sent her to the confidential personnel training class of the State Administration of Political Science and Security, and she is now Lin Baiguang's confidential secretary.

"Check to see if there are any transcripts of Gao Shunqin's memorials on the Portuguese or Macau affairs that have been released from mid-August to the present position."

Lin Xuan came back soon and reported that no information about his needs could be found.

If not, you have to send someone to do it.Gao Shunqin's memorials are easy to get when they arrive in Beijing—as long as the emperor doesn't keep them, they can copy them in the mansion.But it is not so easy to do in Guangzhou.It is necessary to bribe the staff who drafted the memorial or the trusted book boy who is in charge of the memorial document.

Gao Shunqin's mansion just did not have such a powerful relationship - this is a great shortcoming.It turns out that Pei Lixiu and Gao Shunqin's concubine Su Ai are good sisters handkerchief handed over.Given Su Ai's status in Gaofu, it should be possible to get the copy of the memorial in private.

Pei Lixiu is not in Guangzhou now, this way is cut off.Of course it is possible to transfer her back, and Lingao will not object, but she is too famous, and there are too many people in Guangzhou who know her, so it is dangerous to rush back when the situation is unclear.
