One thousand nine hundred and sixty-five chapters Hantong Eagle Dog in America
In a two-story masonry building in Xinnan Port, Xinnanzhou, North America, two people were discussing in a study room.
One of them was wearing casual clothes, but he was wearing a Skylark Medal on his chest, which meant that this person was in the fourth grade. The middle-aged man said slowly: "Why did Chen come here this time? You must be able to do it, Mr. Yun."
You can guess it!”
Opposite was a man about fifty years old, also wearing official uniform, but the pattern on the badge on his chest was a peacock, and it was also a third-grade gold and silver-edged badge.
Mr. Yun nodded slightly: "Sir Chen, as the director of the American Division of Hantong, came to Xinnan Port in person despite his busy schedule. What he was doing must be a big and important case. Looking at the recent developments in America, it can be considered a major event.
It’s nothing more than partial localization along the railway line.”
Director Chen smiled: "Yes, Co-organizer Yun is indeed a person with sufficient political consciousness. He can guess Chen's purpose just by looking at Chen's identity. Yes, this time Chen came to America for this railway!"
Co-organizer Yun said: "But hasn't the previous supervisor been dismissed from his post and investigated? Is there anything else missing?"
Director Chen said: "The cases handled by the former American Supervisor were naturally handled by people from the Supervisory Office and have nothing to do with our Hantong."
After counting to this point, Director Chen showed a smile, and then said: "Master Yun should also know that our Hantong will not interfere in these ordinary cases."
When Co-organizer Yun heard this, he frowned slightly.
He knew very well who the person in front of him was, no, it should be said that many people knew it.
This person's name is Chen Guangqing, a very common name, and his rank is not high, only the fourth rank.
However, he is the director of the Americas Division of the Sixth Bureau of the Survey and Statistics Section of the Hanlin Academy.
The Investigation and Statistics Section of the Hanlin Academy is a very special and mysterious institution within the empire. Many outsiders and even imperial officials are unclear about the detailed organizational structure of the Hanlin Academy.
They only generally knew that there were nine bureaus under Hantong, and each nine bureaus had division directors.
But this is just the surface. In fact, Hantong has another set of institutions. For example, a branch will be established in each province, and a station will be established in each state capital.
On the surface, there are more than 5,000 Hantong officials, but how many people Hantong actually has, how many direct employees, and how many secret employees there are, this has always been an absolute secret.
Anyway, everyone knows that Hantong is almost everywhere.
After years of reform, Hantong is a very large and complex intelligence agency, with various subordinate bureaus and stations responsible for different intelligence affairs.
Among them, the Ninth Bureau is an agency specifically responsible for overseas territories. It is responsible for the affairs of all overseas territories, partial territories, and overseas territories except the mainland.
Judging from the areas they are responsible for, we can see what their main job is, which is to prevent rebellion in overseas territories and territories, and to nip any possibility of rebellion in the cradle.
The Ninth Bureau is divided into various divisions, including the Southeast Asian Division, the Indian Division, the African Division, the European Division, and the American Division.
Cheng Guangqing was the official responsible for handling American affairs!
Even if he is only a fourth-rank official, his power and intimidation are enough to make any official serving in the Americas tremble with fear.
Cloud Co-organizer is no exception!
He was sent to the Americas three years ago to serve as the Co-ordinator of American Affairs. He could be regarded as the second-in-command of the Tang Empire's civil service in the Americas, including South and North America.
This year, his immediate boss, the Supervisor of the Americas, either because of ulterior motives or because he was out of his mind, even made some promises about localizing the railways. This directly made the big bosses in Jinling wary.
Immediately afterwards, his immediate boss was dismissed and investigated.
This also allowed him to see the opportunity to further become the Supervisor of the Americas, but before he had time to act, he welcomed the guest in front of him.
An extremely dangerous guest, a Hantong hawk.
As an official of the Tang Dynasty, regardless of whether he was a civil official or a military general, they were extremely disgusted with Hantong Yinggu.
If given the chance, they would tear down Hantong completely without hesitation.
Because, the Hantong of the Tang Empire was actually, to put it bluntly, an organization dedicated to preventing rebellions.
Whether it is guiding and monitoring public opinion, guiding and monitoring public sentiment, monitoring officials, monitoring civil unrest and other messy things, their core goal is always to prevent rebellion and to control those who try to rebel.
Killed directly in the cradle.
This rebellion!
It not only refers to the rebellion against the empire and the royal family, but more specifically the opposition against the emperor himself!
The characteristics of Hantong's mission also resulted in the officials and dignitaries being their key targets for protection, especially the ministers of the feudal lords, overseas vassals and even the princes, all of whom were their key monitoring targets.
Once anyone shows signs of trying to rebel against the Holy Emperor, Hantong will not hesitate to use various means to suppress it, including but not limited to direct assassination, poisoning, causing accidents and other methods.
Han Tong never expected to send them to prison.
They will simply kill people!
Because a dead person will not rebel!
Of course, in recent years, there have been few dignitaries who really want to rebel. The Holy Emperor's prestige is at its peak, and they are all smart people, so naturally they will not make any moves.
The military bosses who used to dominate the world are now retiring one after another, and they will not interfere in any court affairs whether openly or secretly.
The current ones don’t even have this burden.
The vassal kings who have already joined the vassal and the princes who have not joined the vassal are all very honest. No one dares to show even a hint of rebellion, and they never even dare to tell others about the idea of seizing the heir.
.
Because they all know that among the people around them, whether they are servants or concubines, there may be Hantong eagle dogs.
Under this situation, everyone was quite honest, and some were dishonest, but no one knew whether they would die at the hands of Hantong.
It is Hantong's job to prevent rebellion, but this is not what Hantong does in many cases, because rebellions rarely occur, and most of the time they focus on surveillance.
In daily life, the cases investigated by the imperial officials are generally not conspiracy cases, but ordinary cases.
But even ordinary cases are mostly major cases ordered by the Holy Emperor himself.
This time Chen Guangqing came to Xinnangang in person and received instructions from Jinling, asking him to thoroughly investigate this railway case and find out all the people and things involved behind it. The Holy Emperor needs to know every detail!
Who are the people behind this railway?
Chen Guangqing already had an idea, because it was not difficult to guess. Who else besides the three vassal kings would dare to cause trouble in America?
