Chapter 42: Developing Eyeliner

After Zhang Tianlai left, Li Yunsheng began to think about how to arrange the daily work of Tianjin Station. Since he had just arrived in Tianjin, he received instructions from everywhere to go to Peking to perform tasks. Therefore, Tianjin Station only had a sign, and the internal institutions were not established at all. He thought carefully about the people he brought with him, most of them were operational personnel, and there were really not many others.

Li Yunsheng had to find someone he was familiar with to arrange it, so he asked Liu Gang to help him handle the usual things and logistics work of the Tianjin station, and asked Zhou Wen and Zhou Wu brothers to divide all the personnel brought into two groups and appoint them as the team leaders. The radio station asked the people sent by the station to be responsible. He should have equipped several logistics and financial personnel, but Li Yunsheng really couldn't find a staff, so he had to take charge of these two matters by himself. After having the right personnel, he would make arrangements separately.

After arranging the daily affairs of the Tianjin Station, Li Yunsheng focused on waiting for the news about Zhang Tianlai. After all, only Zhang Tianlai is a little familiar with things in North China. He can only understand the situation through him and find a goal that can be developed.

Zhang Tianlai's movements were still very fast. After just three days of leaving, he sent a telegram back, telling Li Yunsheng that he had successfully made Liu Jianlin out. The two of them booked the train tomorrow and would arrive in Tianjin at noon. After reading Zhang Tianlai's telegram, Li Yunsheng was thinking about how to convince Liu Jianlin. This person was just a company commander and had a low status. Can he attract him by promotion?

After thinking about it carefully, Li Yunsheng felt that this was inappropriate. From Zhang Tianlai's mouth, he learned that Liu Jianlin often contradicted his superiors, so he didn't care much about promotion. So would such a person like money? Li Yunsheng guessed that this person would definitely like money. After all, everyone likes money, and Liu Jianlin's family is not good. In order to save money, he only drinks inferior wine even when drinking, so he can buy such people with a lot of money.

Thinking of this person being very family-oriented, Li Yunsheng had an idea and planned to use his family to convince him. After all, he was a soldier and might die on the battlefield one day. The one who was most worried about should be his family. As long as he stood from the perspective of his family, he should be able to convince him to serve himself.

The next morning, Li Yunsheng sent a man to the station to pay attention to the train from Peking. When the train was about to arrive, he told himself that when it was around eleven o'clock, his subordinates came back and reported that the train was about to arrive. Since Li Yunsheng wanted to develop Liu Jianlin into a spy, it was not suitable for more people to know, so he drove to take Tianjin Railway Station by himself.

After waiting for twenty minutes, I finally waited for Zhang Tianlai. There was also a burly man in his thirties who came with him. As for his two subordinates, he should have been left in Peking. When the three of them met, Li Yunsheng smiled and said, "This is Brother Liu Jianlin. I have mentioned you to me several times in the sky," said.

Liu Jianlin said readily: "I know you. Before, Tianlai came to me secretly and didn't say anything. He just asked me to accompany him to Tianjin to meet someone. I guess you were looking for me, but I was just a company commander, and I don't know what you were asking me for." Liu Jianlin is also a smart person, otherwise he would not have become a company commander and he had no background.

Li Yunsheng hurriedly said, "It's natural that there is something to look for Company Commander Liu, but it's already noon and it's not convenient to talk here. Let's find a place to have a meal first and then tell you what's wrong." Then he walked towards the car that was driving.

Seeing this, Zhang Tianlai hurriedly pulled Liu Jianlin into the car. Li Yunsheng took the two of them to a restaurant and ordered a private room in the corner. He first had some lunch, and then Li Yunsheng said to Liu Jianlin: "I guess you must be very strange to come to Liu Jianlin this time."

Liu Jianlin nodded and said directly: "Yes, I'm a little strange. Judging from the attitude of Commander Li towards you that day, you know that you are also a big shot, and I am just a small company commander. I don't know what happened to you who sent someone to me."

Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "Company Commander Liu has looked up to his brothers. I am not a big shot, but the department I am in is a bit special. I am the master station of the Tianjin Station of the Lixing Society Special Operations Department. This time I asked Company Commander Liu to come here, but I just wanted Company Commander Liu to join the Tianjin Station."

After hearing Li Yunsheng's words, Liu Jianlin showed an unexpected expression, but said calmly: "You are actually from the secret service. No wonder you were able to get rid of Zhang Jinrao. I didn't expect that you could become a major and become a webmaster at a young age. It's really amazing." Then he kept silent.

Seeing that Liu Jianlin did not answer him, Li Yunsheng turned the topic elsewhere, and knew in his heart that this person was unwilling to join Tianjin Station. However, Li Yunsheng's purpose was to join Tianjin Station, so he naturally would not follow his words. So he asked directly: "I don't know what Company Commander Liu thinks about the brothers' words just now, and whether he is willing to join Tianjin Station."

Seeing that Li Yunsheng asked so directly, Liu Jianlin knew that he could not avoid this question, so he spoke: "I'm not hiding it from Webmaster Li, I'm just a rough person, I don't know a lot of big words, and my status is not high. I don't know why Webmaster Li asked me to join your Tianjin site."

Li Yunsheng said softly: "Our Tianjin Station has just been established and I don't know anything about North China. Company Commander Liu has been in the army for many years and is considered a local tyrant. We are lacking such people. Because Tianlai is very familiar with you, I invited you to join our Tianjin Station. If you join us, you can better serve the party and the country. After all, our secret service is directly led by the leader."

Liu Jianlin said seriously: "Thanks to Webmaster Li for his kindness, but I, Liu, only know how to fight and kill, and still prefer to stay in the army. This can also serve the party and the country, so I have to waste Webmaster Li's kindness." Liu Jianlin didn't want to become an agent, so after thinking about it carefully, he refused, thinking that he was a small company commander anyway, and even if he refused, Li Yunsheng might not be skeptical about him.

Li Yunsheng was not surprised to see Liu Jianlin refuse. After all, the soldiers at this time did not want to become agents. They felt that the agents were doing very dark things, so they persuaded him: "Captain Liu is not considering it? There are many benefits to joining us. After all, we are the leader's direct troops, and the troops you are in are just some miscellaneous troops, and even the military pay cannot be guaranteed."

Liu Jianlin smiled and said, "I feel that this is good now. Although I don't receive much military salary, I can still support my family and prevent my wife and children from being hungry. I don't have the intention to get promoted or make money. Why not just do it?"

After hearing Liu Jianlin's words, Li Yunsheng said sarcastically: "Don't let your wife and children be hungry. Is Company Commander Liu's only capable? Besides, Company Commander Liu can still support his family now, but now there are constant wars in the north and bullets don't have eyes. If Company Commander Liu dies one day, I don't know what your wife and children will be like."

As soon as Li Yunsheng finished speaking, Liu Jianlin's face changed a little. This is what many soldiers are worried about now, especially in the north, warlords come and go, and soldiers follow different commanders, and they have no concept of a country in their hearts and only have their own small family in their hearts. Therefore, they are afraid of death during wars and dare not rush upwards. Li Yunsheng's words were just saying that Liu Jianlin's concerns were heavy, and he was also worried that one day he would die and that his wife, children and children would not be taken care of.

Seeing that Liu Jianlin's face changed, Li Yunsheng knew that he had talked about his pain, so he said softly: "If Company Commander Liu joins our Tianjian Station, he doesn't have to leave the current army. I will give you a military pay every month, so that your family's life will be better. If one day you really sacrifice, we will take care of your family so that your relatives will not be bullied. Moreover, the secret service is the leader's direct descendant. After our personnel are sacrificed, the family will also be taken care of by the government."

Li Yunsheng's words were not very clever, but in this era, it was already very attractive to these low-level officers. Although Liu Jianlin did not agree immediately, he was a little shaken, so he asked: "If I join your secret service, you will really take good care of my family. Even if I sacrificed not for your mission, but died on the battlefield, you will do so."

After hearing Liu Jianlin's words, Li Yunsheng knew that this person had been shaken a little, so he spoke seriously: "Of course, as long as you become ours, even if you die on the battlefield, we will take care of your family."

Seeing that Liu Jianlin was still hesitant, in order to lay the first eyewitness in the 39th Army in North China, Li Yunsheng decided to add a fire and said to Liu Jianlin: "As long as you agree to join Tianjin Station, I will immediately buy a house for your family in the concession in Tianjin. In the concession, we will take care of you. Your family will be guaranteed in terms of life and safety, so you can rest assured."

Li Yunsheng's last words finally touched Liu Jianlin. He saw this man take a big sip of wine and then solemnly said: "Okay, as long as Webmaster Li keeps his word, I, Old Liu, will sell you more than 100 pounds. Even if the webmaster asks me to kill and set fire in the future, I, Old Liu, will never be vague."

Seeing Liu Jianlin nodding in agreement, Li Yunsheng nodded with satisfaction, thinking that his army in North China had finally had its first eyeliner, so he said seriously: "From now on, we are our own people. I will let Zhang Tianlai go to handle what I promised you. If you have any tasks in the future, Zhang Tianlai will tell you that except for me and Zhang Tianlai, no one will know that you are my person. In order not to arouse other people's suspicion, you should go back to the army by yourself. After a few days, I will ask Zhang Tianlai to contact you. Usually you only need to learn more about other people's personalities and hobbies, and pay attention to the trends of the army."

Liu Jianlin nodded quickly and agreed, looked at Zhang Tianlai, with a little complicated look in his eyes, then turned around and left, and returned to the army.
