After returning to the Secret Service, Li Yunsheng sighed, thinking that Miyamoto Qingliang was indeed difficult to control. Although these noble children were afraid of death and eager to enjoy themselves, they were not lacking in foresight. After knowing that he was Chinese, he could make accurate calculations.
I couldn't bear to let go of these two secret agents, so I forced myself to take a step back.
One day later, Zhang Tianlai returned to Tianjin. As soon as he saw Li Yunsheng, he asked: "Stationmaster, what's the matter with calling me back in such a hurry?"
Li Yunsheng asked calmly: "What have you gained from being in Peiping for so long?"
Zhang Tianlai said quickly: "The gains are not big. Apart from contacting two former comrades, there is nothing else." There was a bit of caution in his tone, fearing that Li Yunsheng would be dissatisfied.
Li Yunsheng didn't say much. After all, his foundation in North China was too shallow. Many things had to be done step by step, so he said: "Don't worry, things have to take your time. How is Liu Jianlin doing now? I heard that his troops are in contact with Japan."
There was a fight, and there seemed to be a lot of casualties."
Zhang Tianlai said quickly: "Company Commander Liu is fine. His troops have been transferred back to the vicinity of Peking due to heavy casualties."
Li Yunsheng nodded, and then said seriously: "The 29th Army is now very large. Although Liu Jianlin has a low position, he can still understand the situation of the 29th Army. You should pay more attention in the future.
I will give you some more funds, and you must slowly establish yourself in Peiping."
Zhang Tianlai kept nodding his head, and then said doubtfully: "Stationmaster, you keep explaining this, what happened? Do you want to leave Tianjin?"
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "It's not just me who is leaving Tianjin, but most of the people. Now that the Tianjin branch is going to be banned, we will have to rely on you people in the dark in the future."
Zhang Tianlai quickly asked: "Stationmaster, you said that the Tianjin branch will be banned. Why is that?"
Li Yunsheng explained the matter, and then said: "So I will leave a telecommunications person for you. From now on, you can follow me in Peiping and wait for my orders." Zhang Tianlai has a flexible mind and has been in North China for many years.
, so Li Yunsheng left Zhang Tianlai to collect intelligence and use him as a back-up man.
Zhang Tianlai said seriously: "I understand, I will be careful in the future. If there is any big or small incident in Beiping, I will report it to you in time."
Li Yunsheng said solemnly: "I estimate that a comprehensive war between China and Japan is not far away. Peiping will definitely be occupied by the Japanese by then. So you must protect yourself in Peiping and never let anyone know your identity. You
Those two brothers should also be managed well, maybe you will play a big role in the future."
Zhang Tianlai couldn't help but nod, saying that he would follow Li Yunsheng's instructions.
After Li Yunsheng finished explaining, he gave Zhang Tianlai a sum of money to use as expenses, and then found a telegraph operator and asked him to return to Peiping with Zhang Tianlai.
After doing this, Li Yunsheng ordered his men to prepare to leave, and asked the Zhou brothers to send Meng Dong $100,000 in funds, and then he felt at ease.
After thinking about it, I had promised my father that I would visit my fiancée's house. Now that the trivial matters were almost settled, I drove to Liu's house according to the address left by my father.
On the way, Li Yunsheng was thinking about the situation of his fiancée's family. His fiancée's name is Liu Qing. She should be twenty years old this year. She is the youngest daughter of the family. His father Liu Zhongyi and Li Hongwen are classmates, so they decided to get married.
, and Liu Zhongyi’s family runs a cloth business. Although the scale is not the largest, it still has a place in Tianjin, otherwise the two families would not get engaged.
The Liu family was not in the Kuomintang-controlled area, but in the French Concession. After arriving, as soon as their names were reported, the servants took Li Yunsheng in. After waiting in the living room for a while, they saw a middle-aged man in his forties leaving.
When he came in, Li Yunsheng learned from his memory that this person was Liu Zhongyi and his future father-in-law. The two had met once a few years ago, and they quickly stood up to greet him: "Hello, Uncle Liu."
Liu Zhongyi said with a smile on his face: "I have been waiting for you to come to Tianjin since your father told me that you came to Tianjin, but it was not until today that I waited for you to come see me."
Li Yunsheng said apologetically: "I am really busy with official duties and have never had time, so I came to visit today. I hope Uncle Liu will not blame me."
Liu Zhongyi said with a smile: "I know you are busy with official duties, how could I blame you? Let's just talk about the big bank robbery a few days ago. If you hadn't participated and revealed the truth, things would have been very troublesome."
The case has caused quite a stir, and everyone with respectability in Tianjin knows it, and Liu Zhongyi is no exception.
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "These are the Japanese who are making us miserable, but there is nothing we can do about it. The country is poor and weak. Now, under the pressure of the Japanese, the government has even banned the Tianjin branch of the Secret Service. I
I will be leaving Tianjin soon, so I took some time to visit my uncle."
Liu Zhongyi nodded in agreement. His business was not small. Naturally, there were people in the government who knew that the Nanjing government was about to reach an agreement with the Japanese, so he asked: "Yunsheng, what do you think about China and Japan?"
What do you think of the relationship between the two? The Japanese are constantly making troubles. Although an agreement will be reached in the near future, will they settle down after that?"
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and decided that the relationship between the two parties was very close and they would still be a family in the future, so it would be better to remind them, and he said directly: "Sooner or later, a full-scale war will break out between China and Japan, and it won't last too long. Maybe
A war will break out in the next two years, and North China and the southeastern coast will be lost by then, so uncle, you'd better sell off the family business as soon as possible, or transfer it to the southwest, otherwise it will only be an advantage to the Japanese."
Liu Zhongyi thought about it carefully and felt that what Li Yunsheng said made sense, but he felt that since the peace agreement was about to be signed, there should still be a lot of time, so he said: "What Yunsheng said makes sense, but I don't see a war."
It will break out so soon. After all, the Japanese are going to sign an agreement with us. Once the agreement is signed, we will be able to settle down for a few years."
Li Yunsheng quickly persuaded: "Uncle, don't think so. As the government continues to make concessions, the Japanese appetite will become bigger and bigger, and the Nanjing government will not continue to compromise like this, so you should make preparations in advance.
And I estimate that even the concession will be occupied by the Japanese. For safety reasons, it is best for you and your family to move to Chongqing in the southwest. I also have this plan, and we can take care of each other then."
Liu Zhongyi is also a smart man. He naturally has his own opinions on things and will not easily listen to other people's opinions. Moreover, Li Yunsheng said that the Japanese would occupy the concession, which made him even less convinced. However, he did not want to argue, so he said:
"I will consider this."
Not wanting to continue talking about this topic, Liu Zhongyi changed the topic and said: "Yunsheng, you came at the wrong time today. Xiaoqing has gone to Shanghai to study since last year. Otherwise, you can still meet." There was something in his words.
Meaning of joking.
Li Yunsheng said with a smile: "Today I am mainly here to visit Uncle Liu. It doesn't matter if I can't see Miss Liu." Seeing Liu Zhongyi change the topic, he knew that he had his own ideas, so he stopped trying to persuade him. Anyway, even if the Anti-Japanese War broke out
, the concession will still be safe for a few years. As for some family property, it will be lost. Anyway, Liu Zhongyi's family property is not small, so the loss does not matter.
The two chatted for a while and had lunch at Liu's house, before Li Yunsheng said goodbye and left.
After returning to the Secret Service, Li Yunsheng paid attention to the Sino-Japanese negotiations. As expected, the agreement was signed not long after, and the Nanjing headquarters also sent a telegram asking Li Yunsheng and others to withdraw to Nanjing.
Looking at the telegram sent from the Nanjing headquarters, Li Yunsheng sighed, and then called Liu Gang and asked him to be responsible for informing everyone to prepare to leave Tianjin, buy tickets to return to Nanjing, and leave in three days.
Liu Gang had been notified by Li Yunsheng a long time ago and was mentally prepared for this, so he hurriedly went down to make arrangements.
Not long after Liu Gang left the office, Zhang Hao walked in and said to Li Yunsheng: "Webmaster, Zhou Shuren is missing."
Li Yunsheng thought to himself, it seems that the underground party arranged for him to evacuate, but the underground party's actions were too slow. It has been more than a week since his notice, and they only arranged for him to evacuate now, so he pretended not to know anything.
He looked puzzled and asked: "How long has he been gone? Did he leave on his own?"
Li Yunsheng didn't know that it was Zhou Shuren who was unwilling to leave and wanted to stay in the Secret Service even at the risk. After all, this opportunity was too rare. In the end, it was Zhao Chengde who gave the order to evacuate.
Zhang Hao replied calmly: "It's been two days. I haven't come back since I went out the afternoon before yesterday. Do you want me to go check it out?"
Li Yunsheng sighed and said: "Forget it, don't check. He is from Tianjin. Maybe he didn't want to go back to Nanjing with us, so he left alone."
Zhang Hao glanced at Li Yunsheng with some doubts, thinking that Zhou's behavior was already considered a deserter, but seeing that the stationmaster didn't want to pursue the case, he reminded him: "Staffmaster, Zhou's behavior is already considered a deserter.
Deserted."
Li Yunsheng said calmly: "I recruited him," and then stopped talking.
Zhang Hao reacted quickly, thinking that the webmaster might be thinking about old feelings and stopped talking.
The day of evacuation came soon. On the day of further evacuation, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but feel a little sad when he looked at the sign of Tianjin Branch of the Secret Service. He originally planned to run the Pingjin area well before the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War. After the full-scale Anti-Japanese War, he would
It was time to show off my talents, but I didn’t expect this result.
Seeing that Li Yunsheng was in a low mood, Liu Gang comforted him: "Stationmaster, don't feel bad. Even if we return to Nanjing, we can still deal with the Japanese and serve the country."
Li Yunsheng adjusted his mood, and then said harshly: "Just wait, I will come back sooner or later," and then said to Liu Gang: "Go to the station." After that, he got in the car and went to Tianjin Railway Station.
