Chapter 407 Cosmic Power
All the smart people present were all smart people. Yang Du said this, and Qiao Yu immediately understood Yang Du's plan. This time, Puyi's escape must have the shadow of Japan. It can be said that the final destination must be Japan. Apart from Japan, Puyi has no place to settle down, and other great powers will not want to use him.
However, if you want to get Puyi out from a young age, you must have an inner support to do it. So who is this inner support? Most of them are old bureaucrats left over from the Qing Dynasty. If they were officials from the Sichuan clan, they would definitely have no feelings for the Qing Dynasty. On the contrary, they started their own business through rebellion, so how could they help Puyi?
If this case can involve the elderly in Beiyang, then an excellent cleaning opportunity will be in front of you. Qiao Yu now has enough prestige and enough strength. The military and administrative systems have been straightened out. Now it is a good opportunity to replace Xu Shichang. The Sichuan clan cannot wait and want to be founding heroes. But this happened at this moment, and the handle was delivered to his hands again.
Yang Du's meaning was already very clear at this time, and he was to use this case to attack the elderly in Beiyang.
"Prime Minister, in my opinion, even if Puyi came to Japan, it would have no practical effect. Apart from causing trouble, he could do nothing else. The old and young masters in China have long been honest. Even if there are still people who have ambitions, what can a bunch of food, drinks, and fun do? "
Qiao Yu thought about it and said, "Don't rush to draw a conclusion. You should check it carefully and figure out the whole story. There is no need for me to frame anyone!"
Wang Lingji hurriedly agreed and went to investigate. Puyi, as the last emperor, still had some influence. He suddenly disappeared mysteriously, which naturally attracted public attention. However, the government did not seem too enthusiastic, just briefly informing the situation, and did not say anything specific!
However, calm appearance does not mean that the same is true inside. Since the establishment of the Sichuan Investigation Bureau, Qiao Yu has devoted a lot of effort and invested a lot of money. After so many years of development, he can match the intelligence organizations of several major powers in the world. Now that it is operating, what naturally happened at the small station was found out soon.
Just near the farm where Puyi was undergoing labor reform, a hidden courtyard was found. A few days ago, a group of mysterious people came here, and a black Ford. After Puyi disappeared, all of these people disappeared. It was obvious that they took Puyi away. Judging from the car print, the car was headed to the Tianjin port. Then they checked the port and finally found that a Hong Kong cargo ship seemed to have problems. Although the registered place was Hong Kong, there seemed to be Japanese among the crew!
Moreover, the ship happened to leave Tianjin on the morning when Puyi disappeared. Judging from the distance, most of the time Puyi left on this ship. From a young station to the Tianjin port, Puyi was able to move unimpeded and escape the customs investigation. It was obvious that there was an insider, and it was not just a person!
After careful investigation, the case soon surfaced. Puyi was able to escape thanks to the acquiescence of three people. One was the Minister of Agriculture Zhou Ziqi, who was in charge of agriculture. The place where Puyi carried out labor reform was under his control. The other was the Minister of Public Security Jin Yunpeng, and the other was Wang Chonghui, who was in charge of customs work. These three people were all from Beiyang.
Among them, Jin Yunpeng is the most suspicious. Just a few days ago, a former Qing Dynasty official Yu Xuezhai secretly visited him. The Bureau of Investigation immediately controlled Yu Xuezhai. At this time, he was also in Tianjin and was about to board the passenger ship to Hong Kong. Just when he boarded the ship, the staff of the Bureau of Investigation caught the old guy!
After taking Yu Xuezhai, the old guy was also a bachelor, and immediately recognized everything he knew. It was the Japanese who secretly found Yu Xuezhai and asked him to persuade Jin Yunpeng to help secretly. Then Jin Yunpeng was caught. At this time, Jin Yunpeng was a little panicked. He was originally Duan Qirui's confidant, but with Duan Qirui resigning, Jin Yunpeng's situation became worse and worse.
Although he is also a member of the cabinet, he has no power and can only be dizzy by the numerous public security cases every day. Jin Yunpeng has accumulated a lot of resentment. He has also contacted the elderly in Beiyang in every way, hoping to integrate these people together and form a powerful force.
The ones he mainly wins over are Zhang Zuolin, Xu Shuzheng, Yan Xishan, and these powerful factions. But unfortunately, none of them are interested. In fact, everyone knows that Jin Yunpeng is seeking death because he is trying to do this. The era of Beiyang has passed, so don’t recall it. It’s better to do the current work honestly than anything else!
However, Jin Yunpeng was still ambitious. Not long ago, the Japanese found him and expressed their willingness to support him in integrating the Beiyang forces and strive to maintain influence in the parliament in the next election!
Although he also knew that Japan's support might not work, it was better to have it than not. Jin Yunpeng also agreed to cooperate. However, after he agreed, the Japanese found him, hoping to help send Puyi out. Jin Yunpeng was also surprised by Japan's request!
That was the little emperor. If it fell into the hands of the Japanese, it would be a big deal. However, Jin Yunpeng thought about it again that even if it fell into the hands of the Japanese, it would be Qiao Yu who was troubled. Therefore, he actually acquiesced to this matter, and Yu Xuezhai was the one who cleared the joints.
Jin Yunpeng originally thought that he was doing a secret, but he did underestimate the strength of the Investigation Bureau. Soon Jin Yunpeng was exposed. Qiao Yu immediately ordered the arrest of the involved officials, but Puyi still fled. News from Japanese intelligence personnel had already reported that when Puyi arrived in Japan, he was taken care of by the military headquarters. There was no movement yet.
"Prime Minister, Jin Yunpeng was arrested. Some old people in Beiyang were already scared and resigned. I wonder what you are going to do?"
"These old bureaucrats should also be dealt with. If you want to quit, you will quit. China has never lacked officials. In recent years, a large number of excellent young people have emerged. It would be better to change their blood. However, when Puyi came to Japan, the Japanese had a card, which was a bit unfavorable to us!"
Jiang Baili smiled slightly from the side and said, "Prime Minister, I guess the purpose of the Japanese taking Puyi away is nothing more than to get a card against China like we control Ruan Aiguo. However, it is easy for us to have such a card in Japan!"
Qiao Yu frowned slightly, then stretched out, "Brother Baili is talking about those North Koreans?"
"The Prime Minister is wise. The Qing Dynasty has been destroyed for many years. There are not many people who really think about the Qing Dynasty. These Koreans dream of restoring their homeland. And they not only think so, but also do this. Hirobuki Ito was assassinated by the Koreans. I have also heard that Japanese officials would be happy if they were sent to Taiwan. If they were sent to North Korea, they would be frowning. It is not easy for Koreans to rule!"
"Since Brother Baili believes that the North Koreans are available, we might as well call them up. With this card in hand, it can disrupt North Korea at any time, which is enough to offset the impact of Puyi's escape!"
"Prime Minister, many Korean nationalists have gathered in China, the most important of which is concentrated in Shanghai. Just a few years ago, they also established the so-called Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea and vowed to restore their homeland. However, these North Koreans also had many contradictions. Originally, they elected the highest prestigious Syngman Rhee as the interim president, but Syngman Rhee was still in Washington. He attempted to gain support from the United States to achieve the goal of restoring the country. Now Shanghai is mainly responsible for Kim Kowloon. Just a few days ago, Kim Kowloon also issued an application to the government, hoping that China could support them in establishing their own armed forces and eventually drive away the Japanese invaders!"
Qiao Yu has no good opinion on South Korea. The largest country in the universe wants to turn everyone into South Korea. It is definitely a disgusting place. However, as a politician, you must not be controlled by your own emotions and reason. Qiao Yu is very clear that a pro-China North Korea has important significance for China's northeastern border!
"Brother Baili, please make arrangements. I will meet Jin Jiu in person to see what he plans!"
Two days later, Jin Jiu came to Huairen Hall in Zhongnanhai for the first time. Jin Jiu still looked up to China's power center, especially when facing the top figure in China's power, Jin Jiu even had a sense of awe from the bottom of his heart. This may be the accumulation of power of the Celestial Kingdom for more than a thousand years.
"His Excellency Prime Minister, I come to visit you on behalf of millions of suffering compatriots. I hope China can give North Korea support and help us restore our country!"
"Mr. Jin, why did I hear that the president you elected is still in the United States? Don't you want to get American aid?"
Kim Kowloon shook his head quickly, "Your Excellency Prime Minister, don't misunderstand. It's just Cheng Man who hopes to cooperate with the United States. We firmly believe that if you want North Korea to be independent, you must have China's support. China has been a role model for North Korea to learn from for thousands of years, and the relationship between the two countries has a long history. During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, China also sent troops to help North Korea deal with the Japanese. I think only China can save North Korea!"
It seems that Jin Jiu is still a sensible person. Qiao Yu smiled slightly: "Mr. Jin, your country, like China, has been seriously injured by Japan. Since the 1895, China and Japan have been irreconcilable. Supporting your country to obtain independent status is China's moral responsibilities, and it is unshirkable!"
Jin Jiu knew very well what the young man in front of him was. Not only did he speak for himself in China, but he also had real results in Germany, Britain, Japan, and Russia. He suffered losses in his hands. Now that he said this, he was a great encouragement to Jin Jiu.
"Thank you, Mr. Prime Minister, North Korea will always be China's best neighbor. Our friendship flows like the Yalu River!"
"Don't Lee Seung-man like to stay in the United States? I think the specific matters will be left to Mr. Kim. In addition, if you want to fight against Japan, you can't stay in Shanghai or move to the Northeast and set up your headquarters in Fengtian. China will provide you with enough help!"
Kim Kook was overjoyed when he heard this. He now took Qiao Yu's Sang Fang sword and drove Rhee away. Moreover, moving the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea to Fengtian would be more conducive to their influence on North Korea. With China's support, his lifelong ideals would be hopeful!
Looking at Jin Jiu's back as he was gone, Qiao Yu kept thinking in his heart, wondering if he would be gloriously a member of the Republic of Korea one day!
