Chapter Nine hundred and fifteenth organized a traitor
July 14th, the Ghost Festival, the famous tourist attraction - Luoyang Longmen Grottoes.
On this solemn day, Jia Liu happily accompanied the Prime Minister and Deputy Ministers of the Cabinet Li Shijie and Asiha, Henan Governor Xu Yucheng, First Army Admiral Baoning, Sixth Army Admiral Wang Pu (Henan General Soldier), Heshuo Xiong
The prince and other civil and military officials took a group photo together under the Big Buddha.
As an emperor, Jia Liu definitely did not come to Luoyang for an official trip.
He secretly traveled north to Luoyang via Xinyang, Henan Province seven days ago. This trip was highly confidential. Only governors, ministers and other officials who knew the whereabouts of His Majesty the Emperor.
When setting off, Jia Liu instructed the "Qing Daily" to report that His Majesty the Emperor was inspecting the northwest region of Hubei. In addition to daily tasks such as rebuilding local areas and restoring people's livelihood, he also gave relevant instructions on this year's flood fighting situation.
The reason for doing this is mainly to confuse the enemy.
According to a review by the House Committee, the Hubei region is now the hardest-hit area for crafting activities.
Some of these agents came from Shaanxi and Gansu, some from Fujian and Zhejiang, some from the southwest, and some from Guangdong. Even the Macau region sent agents to investigate the movements of the reform court and the strength of the army.
According to the confessions of those captured, they often secretly sent back newspapers published by the Reform Court, because many of the contents published in the newspapers were what they needed to inquire about.
After receiving the report, Jia Liu was not surprised, because the sources of information obtained by Xizuo were nothing more than Tang newspapers, government documents, and information obtained from bribed officials.
The essence of intelligence is information.
In the past, due to dispersion and inconvenient communication, this information often required careful efforts and a lot of effort to obtain and probe.
But during the Restoration Dynasty, this intelligence information appeared openly and openly in newspapers.
For example, the previous clan meeting of hundreds of officials, the emperor's enthronement ceremony, the process of the Niuxinzhai victory, the reorganization of the army, the emperor's movements and other content that did not involve specific military operations, Jia Liu approved "Da Qing Daily" and "Front Line Daily"
be published.
The result is that information that used to cost a lot of money can now be purchased for as little as three cents.
It is certain that at least 90% of the agents sent to Hubei by various forces reported false accounts to their respective masters.
However, these meticulous workers did not know that they had fallen into a trap.
That is, the contents of officially published newspapers are not necessarily true.
Therefore, the contents published in the recent "Frontline" and "Qing Daily" are all false.
It can’t be said to be false, it might be better to use fiction.
Just like now, Jia Liu, the helmsman of the Reform Court, is obviously in Luoyang, but in the newspapers he is singing about the Red Guards in Hong Lake.
Once the special train enters Henan, Henan will be responsible for the security work along the way.
Entering Henan with Yujia are more than 20,000 soldiers of the First Army who have completed training. The army will rest in Kaifeng, Henan for 20 days. After the weather cools down, they will cross the Yellow River and go north via Wei Hui to Zhili to join forces with the rebel army.
Troop deployment in the Jingdong region.
The other main force of the Northern Expedition, the Second Army, will move north from Xiangyang at the end of the month, passing through Luoyang, Huaiqing and other places and heading east to Zhili to complete complete control of the area west of Beijing.
Once the war started, the main forces from the east and west would attack the capital and the surrounding Qing army strongholds.
Among them, the East Route Army was not only responsible for the task of attacking the capital, but also the task of annihilating the stubborn troops such as Pan Zhishan, the admiral of Gubeikou, and ensuring that Shanhaiguan was always under the control of the imperial court. In addition, it was responsible for guarding against the puppet troops who might invade from the direction of Rehe.
Mongolian army.
In this way, in addition to the main force of the First Army, the East Route Army also concentrated about two-thirds of the troops of the rebel army. In addition, Tianjin Navy Commander Zamul will also lead the navy officers and soldiers to participate in the combat mission.
If the Eight Banners outside the Pass "knock the pass", the navy will land in Liaodong and harass the transportation arteries in southern Liaoning and western Liaoning.
Of course, due to its small scale, the navy can only play a supporting role and cannot yet take on a full role.
The First Army's early entry into Henan was not only due to the development of the situation, but also because of the problem of food and grass.
When he discovered that he, the emperor, could not eat meat, Jia Liu realized the seriousness of the problem. As an emperor who dared to take responsibility, he did not pass all the responsibilities to his ministers. Instead, he immediately decided that the first army would go north to Henan to "find food."
", firstly, to allow the troops to adapt to combat needs, and secondly, to reduce the pressure on Hubei Province.
At the same time, Yujia also went north to Henan, so that he could more conveniently command the autumn decisive battle offensive.
Bo Qing'e, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, stayed in Xiangyang and was responsible for the normal operation of the reform court and many diplomatic matters.
After the special train arrived in Luoyang, Henan Governor Xu Yucheng, who had been waiting for him for a long time, led his civil and military officials secretly out of the city to greet him, and then held a welcome banquet in the city.
After the banquet, Jia Liu met with some generals of the Sixth Army, which was reorganized from the Banner and Han Army in Henan, and delivered a speech at the moment of a stick of incense. He highly affirmed Henan's participation in the reform and expressed his appreciation for Henan's active implementation of the reorganization and reorganization of the Sixth Army.
It was also highly appreciated.
The next day, under the arrangement of Henan, Jia Liu visited the Longmen Grottoes and took photos with his companions as a souvenir.
On the way back to the city, Jia Liu received an urgent delivery from the capital and suddenly looked solemn.
Sitting in the special train ahead was Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Asiha, and accompanying the emperor in the ordinary carriage was Prime Minister and Deputy Minister Li Shijie.
Seeing that the emperor's expression was wrong, President Li hurriedly asked what happened.
"The old rich guy is out of business. Damn it, the old guy created a royal cabinet to target me... You can see for yourself."
Jia Liu was a little angry and threw the express delivery to the president.
The president quickly took it and frowned after looking at it.
He also did not expect that Qianlong would invite Fulehun who had stepped down to come back to power. After coming to power, Fu Zhongtang uncharacteristically did not liquidate Suolin and others who overthrew him. Instead, he talked about the unity of Manchuria and Mongolia, and that the bannermen and Han people were united to fight against foreign enemies.
With slogans such as saving the Qing Dynasty, a group of Manchu princes in Beijing were lured into the military department and a pure Aisin Gioro cabinet was created.
In addition, they also tried their best to win over Prince An, Sehentu, to reorganize the army and strengthen the defense of the capital and its surroundings. With the support of Sehentu, they launched a large-scale anti-corruption campaign in Beijing. All Banner and Han officials who were transferred back to the capital from Sichuan in the past few years were imprisoned and investigated.
.
The action is powerful and the effect is remarkable.
Yang Jingsu, the governor of Zhili, said that due to Fulehun's actions, the Capital Cooperation Association, which had been hidden and suffered little loss, was now paralyzed, and the Zhili side had to cut off contact with the surviving members to prevent these comrades from being exposed.
"Your Majesty, there is probably a traitor!"
Although Chairman Li does not do spy work, he knows that he can paralyze an organization from top to bottom. There is no other possibility except for the emergence of traitors within the organization.
So, what kind of person could betray the organization and cause such serious consequences?
The president immediately thought of the downline that His Majesty the Emperor had personally developed—Quini, the president of the Capital Branch and the Minister of Rites.
