    Since becoming famous in Zhejiang officialdom, Dai Li began to deploy his own power.  Of course, it is definitely not a flood of praise.  But the main thing is the reputation, the kind that is notorious.  Wang Xueqian does not object to this point, nor does he agree with it. He only sees it in his eyes and does not take it to heart.  As an intelligence chief, if he lacks enough trust even among his subordinates, how can he do this?  Dai Li is not incapable of using students who graduated from the Zhejiang Police Academy. Of course, he will also consider recruiting graduates from several military academies.  They even train loyal spies from young students, but these grow too slowly and can only be used after a few years.  But Dai Li knew that his role was no worse than that of the army, and even more important, because in any case, the army and war were the triggers of political breakdown and the worst plan.  It is a method of killing one thousand enemies and damaging oneself eight hundred.  But in the Republic of China, the mainstream local forces liked to use the military to make decisions at every turn.  It is common for people to start wars at the slightest disagreement.  Some large forces even began to use military operations to penetrate into the surrounding areas, gradually expanding their territory and annexing the surrounding small forces, creating a situation where the big fish eats the small fish.  The direct result is that the military expenditures of local warlords are increasing, and the army has been seriously expanded. In order to save expenses, and there are also problems in personnel training, the newly expanded army is almost stingy in investment in artillery.  The new armies that led to the expansion generally had low combat effectiveness.  The most obvious representative is Feng Yuxiang of the Northwest Army. He only had one division, and later expanded it to a mixed brigade with Cao Kun's permission.  But this small number of people could not satisfy him, and he was stunned to pull up 70,000 to 80,000 people.  Many soldiers don't even have guns and can only use cold weapons as combat weapons.  Therefore, the training of swordsmen in the Northwest Army is taken very seriously.  But if Feng Yuxiang reduced the number of his troops by half, and the areas he controlled were not wealthy areas, his troops would not be in the embarrassing situation they are in today due to insufficient military spending.  And the consumption of war is greater than raising an army, so resorting to militarism is not a good way out.  ?Then the role of intelligence becomes important. Dai Li feels his own importance and also sees the urgency of time.  He needs to achieve results to win Wang Xueqian's favor and ensure that his status will not be challenged.  But the lack of intelligence on the Xuzhou front line made him feel a danger.  On the train, Dai Li was silent, but his face was gloomy. If he hadn't covered his face with a hat, the passing police would have paid attention to him.  When the car arrived near Lincheng, Dai Li winked at Mao Renfeng beside him. The latter understood and reminded Dai Li in a low voice: "Shopkeeper, Lao Lu has always been responsible for purchasing mountain goods in Lincheng.  After going back and forth, there are no special products here. " "After the big robbery, the world has been unstable. Alas now everything is not peaceful?" Dai Li frowned, as if he was trapped by business.  Young shopkeeper.  And Mao Renfeng, who was dressed as a cashier, was already preparing to take the gift.  Although their conversation was very soft, they deliberately let the people around them hear it, but not many people heard it. They were the two people sitting next to them.  Shandong people are bold and can't hide things. A man with a loud voice sitting next to him laughed and said: "This guy doesn't come to Shandong often. Maybe he doesn't know that Sun Meiyao is no longer in Shandong." "I heard that Nishan  Banditry is rampant nearby, and government troops have suppressed it many times without success." Dai Li deliberately pretended to be well-informed, and his eyes were wary, obviously not believing the other party's words.  The big man was angry. A generous person has a carefree personality. He is happy when he is happy and angry when he is angry. It all shows on his face: "Why don't you trust people? Let me tell you, this Sun Meiyao is no longer in Shandong. I heard  He went to harm the territory of Hunan and became a subordinate of Zhang Jingyao. The territory of Nishan and Mengshan near Lincheng was much cleaner. ""What do you call this big brother?" "My surname is Long, and I am engaged in mountain goods trading.  , the jujubes, walnuts, persimmons, peanuts we have here" Seeing that Dai Li didn't believe it, Long Dashun glared and said, "Why are you so wary of our mountain goods?  Big merchants in Tianjin can also sell to big cities like Lincheng." After going back and forth, Dai Li really gained the trust of local mountain goods merchants with the cooperation of Mao Renfeng and others.  Of course, his purpose is not to do mountain goods business, but to obtain a not-too-obtrusive identity through Long Dashun. When he arrives in Jinan, he will become a qualified mountain goods merchant, and he will bring a batch of goods with him.  Come to him, even if the basic staff is more complicated, it will not arouse the vigilance of the patrol police.  Only in this way can Dai Li gather his men together and appear in Jinan City without being suspected.  Before that, he first had to prove the news that Xuzhou knew.?After that, send trusted subordinates to Zhejiang as soon as possible.  The telegraph was definitely inappropriate. He didn¡¯t carry a high-power radio with him, so he couldn¡¯t send a telegraph from Lincheng to Shanghai or Zhejiang.  " Moreover, the war in Xuzhou has ceased, and Zhejiang still doesn't know about it. It can be seen that there must be something wrong with the intelligence station in Shandong, and he has to guard against it.  Dai Li, disguised as a mountain goods merchant, appeared on the streets of Jinan and was startled by the tense and tense atmosphere in Jinan City, followed by worry.  Before knowing the truth, people's subjective thinking can easily turn the tense atmosphere into the worst.  Dai Li just made a mistake that ordinary people would make. Based on what happened in Xuzhou, he thought that the tense atmosphere in Jinan City had a lot to do with him.  After staying in the inn for two days, Dai Li and others realized that the martial law in Jinan City really had nothing to do with him.  It doesn¡¯t even have anything to do with Zhejiang.  Rumors from the outside world are that a maid has gone missing from the family of Shandong Governor Qi Xieyuan, and this maid has stolen a lot of gold and silver from the Marshal's Mansion.  Dai Li didn¡¯t believe such rumors. No one cared about the governor¡¯s identity, his dignity, or the fineness of his family¡¯s gold and silver.  Even if there are some treasures that are priceless in the eyes of ordinary people, they will not be discovered in a short time, unless they are treasures that the commander cares about and likes to play with and often take a look at.  In the following days, Mao Renfeng continued to wander around various mountain goods markets, while Dai Li went to a teahouse. The two people had a clear division of labor, and they all chose places with many people and cluttered eyes.  These places are a mixture of good and bad, but they are also distribution centers for news.  In the evening, when we meet, we will share the day's experiences with each other.  "Everything is clear. There is a spy in Qi Xieyuan's governor's house, and Cao Kun knows about it. A reprimand message from the president made Qi Xieyuan nervous. He is a master with a criminal record. Cao Kun and Wu Peifu have no impression of him.  Okay. Lao Lu and others should be lurking, waiting for the opportunity" Mao Renfeng paused and asked, "Do you want to contact Lao Lu and others directly?" "Wait a minute, the situation is unclear at the moment."  I feel that the matter is not that simple: "Logically speaking, Qi Xieyuan should not care too much after being reprimanded by Cao Kun. The governor is no longer an ordinary subordinate and can be insulted at will. Moreover, Qi Xieyuan also has the confidence to ignore Cao Kun. But he is  He definitely didn't do it to show off to Cao Kun. "He wants to show off to Cao Kun!" Mao Renfeng sneered.  "Nian Xing got off the bus from Zaozhuang. According to the time, he should be in Shanghai.  I hope nothing happens on the road.  "Dai Lisou looked out the window thoughtfully. He was actually waiting for the emergency contact sent by Wang Xueqian to appear. The current situation is very delicate. Lu Yongxiang's attitude changed too quickly, and he also deliberately talked about Wang Xueqian, which is very suspicious.  Is there a breakthrough in the cooperation between Duan Qirui and Zhang Zuolin? And Qi Xieyuan seemed to be nervous about something, but in Jinan City, he felt no anxiety.  In addition to the dangerous aura, he also felt something else. It seemed that he was not far away from the last secret. In Jinan City, he would get the final answer. Zhou Nianxing looked up at the sentry at the door.  His forehead was glistening with sweat, which was not flowing down, but the hair on his forehead was stuck to his forehead. He looked very embarrassed. Compared with the glamorous appearance of the dignitaries coming in and out, he also felt that the sentinel was serious.  Wary and suspicious. In response, Zhou Nianxing stood there pretending to be relaxed, as if he was admiring the architectural style of the courtyard wall and gate tower of the Marshal's Mansion. "Zhou Nianxing?"  " Soon, the guard stood up straight, and a school officer wearing a military uniform and a special mark of military rank came out of the door. His eyes were sharp, but not aggressive and cold. It was just a normal inquiry. " Zhou Nianxing was originally a down-and-out scholar.  Dai Li¡¯s subordinates who went to Jinan this time all staggered before getting on the bus and even pretended to have various occupations, and he did have the rigidity of a down-and-out scholar: "This is a personal letter from Director Dai.  " After the other party took it over, he led Zhou Nianxing to a lounge. There was only him and rows of chairs against the wall in the empty room. Zhou Nianxing, who was originally relaxed, felt a kind of nervousness. He had never seen him before.  Wang Xueqian only knew a lot of flattery about Wang Xueqian from Dai Li's mouth, but he didn't care about Wang Xueqian because he was too tall and he couldn't reach him at all. Zhou Nianxing was filled with thoughts that he would see Wang Xueqian later.  If you have high expectations, what kind of person is the other person? Is he easy to talk to and can he show off Well, I guessWhat a show!  You are such a big shot, how could you not show off?  Zhou Nianxing walked into an office with an uneasy mood, but to his disappointment, the person sitting behind the desk was obviously not Wang Xueqian.  Although the picture in the newspaper was not clear at all, the appearance of the person in front of him should be much older than Wang Xueqian.  The pleat-like wrinkles on a face, for example: it is the same cabbage, freshly harvested from the field, can it be compared with one that has been left at home for a month?  "Wait a minute, let's talk after we finish writing." Of course, the person sitting behind the desk was not Wang Xueqian, but Chen Brai.  The people around him smiled apologetically and continued to write at their desks. Not long after, he put down his pen, got up from the chair, and after stretching his body, he looked at Zhou Nianxing with a teacup in his hands, his eyes very gentle: "Now I can say that you brought  Do you have the information?" Standing opposite Zhou Nianxing was Chen Bui. If it weren't for Dai Li's letters and tokens, it would be impossible for him to receive Zhou Nianxing.  Not to mention taking Zhou Nianxing to see Wang Xueqian, who is not qualified at all.  "Director Dai personally led the team to Jinan this time, but at the station in Xuzhou, he discovered some clues and quickly bought the news from the staff at the station. Recently, Qi Xieyuan and Lu Yongxiang's troops have not been fighting. On the contrary, both sides have  Let's stop the troops" Zhou Nianxing kept his words short and reported truthfully what Dai Li saw and heard.  Because he did not trust the local working group, Dai Li had someone arrive in Shanghai with a message and report directly to Wang Xueqian.  ¡° However, if it were Dai Li, he would be able to contact Wang Xueqian immediately.  But Zhou Nianxing his identity needs to be verified multiple times before he has a chance to get close.  Chen Brai doesn¡¯t understand military affairs, but he has been around Wang Xueqian all year round, so he has been somewhat influenced by it.  The fight between Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan had Wu Peifu's deliberate intentions, but he knew about the alliance between Lu Yongxiang and Zhejiang.  If Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan stop fighting on the Xuzhou front, then they should at least notify the Zhejiang side.  But as far as Chen Brei knows, there is no news in this regard.  Lu Yongxiang is even urging Zhejiang to send troops to reinforce the front line. If the news brought by Zhou Nianxing is true, then the situation will be dangerous for Zhejiang. It is very likely that Lu Yongxiang wants to transfer the main force of the Zhejiang army and take the opportunity to enter Zhejiang.  Secondly, there is another possibility that is even more heart-wrenching. Lu Yongxiang and Qi Xieyuan put on a show, and then deliberately deceived the Zhejiang Army into the trap they had set, and wiped out most of Wang Xueqian's strength.  Completely beat Wang Xueqian to the ground.  Thinking of this, Chen Brai broke into cold sweat. Politics has always been full of deception.  He had already understood this, but he did not expect that one of his allies would suddenly betray him. If the Zhejiang Army continues to be kept in the dark, it will be dangerous for Zhejiang.  For Chen Brai's benefactor Wang Xueqian, he could not bear such a failure. Once the strength he had cultivated with great difficulty was lost, he had only one way to goleave Zhejiang and live in seclusion in the concession.  Or even just go abroad.  Because of Wang Xueqian¡¯s tense relationship with the British and Japanese, it was impossible for him to obtain sufficient security in the concession.  Chen Brai seemed like an alarm clock that had been filmed. His whole body was tense, and he didn't care much. He called the driver and Zhou Nianxing: "Follow me now!" Zhou Nianxing hesitated for a moment, then realized, Wang Xueqian  It shouldn't be in the Marshal's Mansion.  Without saying a word, he got into the passenger seat of the car. Soon the car started and rushed out of the Marshal's Mansion.  There is only one destination, Shanghai Security Headquarters.  With the telegrams getting more urgent each time, the countdown to the dispatch of troops by the Zhejiang Army has entered. Both the top and bottom-level officers of the army have received mobilization orders.  The highest staff department of the Marshal's Mansion is formulating march plans and combat deployments.  We even mobilize military supplies and prepare to join the battlefield anytime and anywhere.  The arrival of Chen Bulei disrupted the original combat meeting. After Wang Xueqian interrupted the meeting, he listened seriously to Zhou Nianxing repeating what he had just said to Chen Bulei. Until Zhou Nianxing finished speaking, Wang Xueqian still didn't say a word, but  He was not as panicked as he imagined the young boss would be. Instead, he was as relaxed as the clouds cleared and the sun appeared.  After a long time, Wang Xueqian whispered: "No wonder This explanation makes sense." In fact, not only Wang Xueqian, but also Jiang Baili didn't understand. According to Lu Yongxiang, he and Qi Xieyuan fought in northern Jiangsu. The battle was extremely tragic, and the Jiangsu army was gradually exhausted  These are all understandable, but Lu Yongxiang seems to have completely ignored an issue. Although the battle is fierce, Lu Yongxiang's military consumption is not large.  Lu Yongxiang¡¯s arms were purchased from the Blackwater Company and took the Shanghai-Nanjing Railway from the Suzhou River warehouse. However, what Lu Yongxiang never expected was that Wang Xueqian was not acting as an intermediary between him and the American arms dealers.The person who introduced him was actually one of the shareholders of Blackwater Company.  He could access Blackwater's accounts anytime and anywhere, and discovered that the other party's last arms purchase was a month ago, and the quantity was not large. This was enough to arouse the suspicion of the cautious Wang Xueqian.
