Chapter 470: Success in instigating rebellion
Li Qingyang couldn't fully understand what Yan Chujie said. There were too many words in it that he didn't know the meaning of. But he generally understood what Yan Chujie wanted to express.
The Haihan people did not want to have a hostile relationship with the Ming Dynasty, nor did they want to be treated as a potential threat by the court. Regarding the war in the north, Li Qingyang did not know the details, but there was no doubt that in recent years, the amount of "Liao pay" collected by the imperial court from the wealthy areas in the south had been increasing. Although the notices issued by the imperial court always state that the battles continue to be won, the military expenditure is getting higher and higher year by year. Is this really the behavior that should be followed after winning the battle?
Then Yan Chujie continued: "We also know that Ming Dynasty has been in a tight situation in the war in the north in recent years, so we have been in contact with the Guangdong government recently, hoping to sell the muskets and cannons produced by our Haihan to Ming Dynasty and transport them to the north to deal with those Boar skin. I think this can fully demonstrate our sincerity, right? "
Li Qingyang really couldn't find anything to find fault with Yan Chujie's statement, but he still stubbornly asked: "Since you have your heart set on the Ming Dynasty and there is no shameful behavior, why do you treat us Jin Yiwei with such an attitude? You We know that the Jinyi Guards are the emperor's personal soldiers. If Haihan takes us, it will be equivalent to becoming the enemy of the Ming Dynasty! "
"No, no, no, these two things cannot be directly connected!" Yan Chujie shook his head and retorted: "No one will know the whereabouts of you guys. Under the premise that no one knows at all, how can you compare to Ming Dynasty? Enemy? As for why you were arrested, it was purely for security reasons. We don't know whether your purpose in coming to Sanya is to lurk here or to assassinate important people among us. It is clear that your reputation among the people is not particularly good. Rather than letting things develop out of control, it is better to bring it under our control from the beginning. You see, although you have been arrested, the truth is. We didn't torture you, didn't starve you, or torture you. We don't want to go against Jin Yiwei, but if Jin Yiwei wants to deal with us, we won't sit still and wait for death. "
"So what you want me to do is to help you deal with the colleagues who will be sent here in the future?" Li Qingyang's mind turned quickly and he immediately figured out something from Yan Chujie's words.
"That's right, since you Jinyiwei will definitely come again, and we don't want to be enemies with the Ming Dynasty, this should be the best way to avoid unnecessary losses for both of us. Of course, if you want, you can continue to use Jinyiwei Stay here as a spy and send reports back to Nanjing regularly to let your superiors know that everything is normal here. "Yan Chujie did not deny Li Qingyang's guess and took advantage of the situation to reveal his own plans.
Yan Chujie's suggestion is undoubtedly very tempting to Li Qingyang. It can not only save his own life, but also retain the identity of the Jin Yiwei. It also sounds very feasible. After all, the news of their fall has not been sent back yet. Nanjing, and Li Qingyang himself is the leader of this team. As long as he is still there, then this so-called latent mission can pretend that nothing happened and continue to execute it. In this way, Nanjing will no longer send personnel to Sanya in a short period of time, and he will not have to be embarrassed about whether to help the Haihan people arrest their colleagues.
Li Qingyang hesitated: "What about my other colleague?"
Yan Chujie responded: "It only takes one person to do this kind of thing. If you are willing to agree, I guarantee that your colleague will never appear in the Ming Dynasty again in his lifetime, and you don't have to worry about what you are doing here." What you do will be leaked out. In addition, we also know that your family members live near Nanjing. If you think it is necessary, we will ask reliable people to come and take your family members out, as long as you do things for us. No need to worry, we will solve all problems. "
"Then if I still refuse to tell you the inside story of Jin Yiwei that you want to know, do you still think it's worth doing so?" Li Qingyang continued to test Yan Chujie's bottom line.
Yan Chujie smiled and said: "I'm actually not worried about this matter at all. As long as you live here for a while, you will naturally understand why we are in today's situation and why the local government turns a blind eye to our existence. You will even take the initiative to cooperate with us. When the time comes, you will find that those things you were sworn to protect before are nothing in the face of absolute power! Whether you say it or not, Jin Yiwei is weak in our eyes. ”
"A weak existence?" Li Qingyang almost exploded when he heard this comment. The dignified emperor's personal army, the most privileged yamen in the world, an existence that frightened countless people, actually only had such a pitiful image among the people of Haihan!
"I know you are dissatisfied, but in this world, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. If our positions are reversed now, you can say the same thing to me." Regarding Li Qingyang's anger, Yan Chujie seemed very calm. He was not afraid of provoking Li Qingyang and causing him to change his mind, because once a smart man like Li Qingyang saw the hope of life, how could he easily give up this hard-won opportunity?
As for whether Li Qingyang will relapse after regaining his free agency, Yan Chujie doesn't have to worry - Haihan has instigated many people to rebel so far, and he has never seen anyone relapse after entering the Haihan system. After all, the actual benefits that Haihan can give them are far beyond the comparison of the original camp. Even if Li Qingyang is powerful, after a period of brainwashing in Sanya, he may have even higher revolutionary enthusiasm than pioneers like Luo Shengdong.
Li Qingyang closed his eyes and was silent for a moment, then asked in a very helpless voice: "Then when can I regain my freedom?"
"First of all, you must sign a written cooperation contract with us, explaining the content and purpose of your cooperation with us, and you must sign and pledge it." Yan Chujie began to put forward the conditions slowly.
Li Qingyang understood that this was the certificate of surrender requested by the Haihan people from him. If he regretted it in the future, this thing would probably appear on his boss's desk. But in order to escape smoothly, there was no other choice for the time being, so Li Qingyang could only nod feebly and agreed to this condition.
Seeing that he did not raise any objection, Yan Chujie continued: "Secondly, after we release you, there will be a period of observation. During this period, your area of activity will be limited, and all actions will be monitored by us. And you have to cooperate with us to do some necessary things, such as submitting your first written report after arriving in Sanya to your boss in Nanjing. As for how long this observation period takes, it depends on your performance. .”
Li Qingyang took a deep breath, nodded and said: "It's a very reasonable condition, I accept it."
Yan Chujie closed the folder in front of him and stood up: "The content of today's conversation will be discussed at the Haihan Executive Committee meeting tomorrow. If everything goes well, you will be free in two or three days at the earliest. "Li Qingyang couldn't help but ask: "What will happen if this discussion is not passed?"
Yan Chujie grinned and said: "It won't be bad, it won't be worse than now. Don't worry, eat well and sleep well these two days, wait for the news!"
After finishing speaking, Yan Chujie picked up the folder with one hand, patted Li Qingyang on the shoulder with the other hand, opened the door and left the interrogation room.
Yan Chujie didn't go far after he came out. He went directly into the observation room next door and observed Li Qingyang's reaction with Tao Donglai and Hao Wanqing. What made the three of them a little disappointed was that Li Qingyang had no obvious expression on his face and was still as calm as he was during the meeting just now.
"Is this guy born with facial paralysis?" Tao Donglai couldn't help but complain.
"That's not true." Yan Chujie shook his head and said, "When I said that Jin Yiwei was a vulnerable group, he still had an angry expression. But this guy does have a deep mind, and he does seem to be very suitable for this line of work. Old Hao, do you think so?”
Hao Wanqing smiled and said: "Mr. Yan, do you mean that all the people in our security department are shady?"
The three of them observed for a while, and seeing that Li Qingyang still had no obvious emotional changes, Hao Wanqing asked someone to go in and take him away.
"What do you think, Mr. Tao?" Hao Wanqing asked proactively. Yan Chujie's attitude had been clearly revealed during the meeting between the two, and now he was just waiting for Tao Dong to express his position.
Tao Donglai said: "The Security Department first arranged for him to write the cooperation agreement, and then issued a written explanation to clearly explain the arrangements and intentions, and then gave it to Mr. Yan and me to sign, and then we discussed it in accordance with the formal procedures. ”
Hao Wanqing hesitated: "However, Li Qingyang's identity is relatively sensitive, and it is not suitable for too many people to know his existence."
Tao Donglai responded: "Then don't mention specific information in the written statement. The cooperation agreement can be kept in the archives of the Security Department and does not need to be displayed to the outside world. As for what identity should be assigned to Li Qingyang, your Security Department can decide. If you have any difficulties, you can report them directly to me. Since we have spent energy to keep this person, the Security Department must make the best use of his talents and let him play his due role.”
"Don't worry, Mr. Tao, the Security Department will definitely handle this matter beautifully!" As the initiator of this matter, Hao Wanqing's sense of accomplishment is undoubtedly the greatest when he can finally see this matter achieve the expected results. If it weren't for his recommendation, Li Qingyang would probably have to spend the rest of his life in the pit of Heitugang Coal Mine as Yan Chujie threatened. For this reason, he had already used various overt or covert methods to persuade Li Qingyang many times in the early stage. Yan Chujie's appearance today is more of a finishing touch based on his leadership status. If he wants to reward according to his merits, Hao Wanqing still has to be considered the first one.
Of course, instigating Li Qingyang's rebellion was not only one of Hao Wanqing's personal achievements in his career, but also an important achievement since the establishment of the Ministry of Security. The focus of the Ministry of Security's work has always been on the Ming Dynasty, and even the top leader of this organization, He Xi, is based in Guangzhou and presides over the work. The main competitor of the Ministry of Security on the intelligence front is undoubtedly the Jinyi Guards of the Ming Dynasty.
Although Haihan's current strength does not require him to worry too much about Jin Yiwei, the Security Department's style of work has always been to take precautions before they happen, and will not wait until something really happens before they start thinking of solutions. If they can block the opponent's attack options, the security department won't mind taking action first - not to mention that Jin Yiwei has already taken the initiative to step on the door.
After instigating Li Qingyang's rebellion, he can first rely on his identity to keep the Sanya area under Haihan's rule isolated from the Ming Dynasty's intelligence agencies. Even if Jin Yiwei dispatches Li Qingyang's successor in the future, the Ministry of Security will already have more Optional operating space. The second role is to use Li Qingyang to gradually understand how Jin Yiwei does things and what loopholes there are in Jin Yiwei's daily operations that can be exploited. Although Li Qingyang's official position in Jinyiwei is only one hundred households, he is directly under the Nanjing Yamen of Jinyiwei, and the level of information he has access to is far beyond that of his colleagues on Qiongzhou Island. Hao Wanqing tried his best to poach him, hoping that one day he could pry open his mouth and dig out more of Jin Yiwei's secrets.
Of course, since Li Qingyang had chosen to compromise after repeated persuasion, Hao Wanqing thought that he would probably take the initiative to explain the problem after a while. As Yan Chujie mentioned in the meeting, as long as Li Qingyang gradually realizes Haihan's strength, he will find that his previous persistence is indeed meaningless. The gap in social development between the two sides is not due to the personal efforts of a few intelligence personnel. It can be made up for. The black technologies in Haihan's hands that Li Qingyang had never heard of were enough to defeat the last line of defense in his heart. Not only Hao Wanqing, but also Tao Donglai and Yan Chujie who were involved in this matter also held the same view.
There is no doubt that the work efficiency of the Security Department is at the forefront among many Haihan agencies. That night, Hao Wanqing came to Li Qingyang with the drafted agreement and asked him to copy it by himself, and then signed and deposited the signature. Mudra. The next morning, the "Statement on the Recent Instigators of Jinyiwei Personnel" was delivered to Tao Donglai's office. After the people from the Security Department waited for Tao Donglai to sign the opinions, they immediately took the document to the Military Commission to find Yan Chujie to sign the opinions. The next day there will be an executive meeting of the Executive Committee. This bill drafted by the Ministry of Security and signed and approved by two executive committee members will be ready for discussion. If nothing unexpected happens, the application to include Li Qingyang in the special employee establishment of the Ministry of Security will be made directly. Passage at the meeting is basically a sure thing.
