Chapter 2660
On the fifth day after the mission arrived in Seoul, scattered visitors began to come to the mission's residence to ask for an audience with Zhu Zian. Among them were survivors of the former Ming Dynasty living in Seoul, and some Koreans who insisted on respecting the Ming Dynasty.
Their purpose in asking to see Zhu Zian was very similar, that is, they hoped that the royal family member could express his position and explain to the public that the relationship between him and Haihan was a mutual cooperation rather than a superior and subordinate.
This situation was actually expected by the Haihan Mission. If no one came to visit, it only means that the previous propaganda methods did not achieve the desired results. Let these groups who still have certain expectations for Zhu Zian realize that
The general trend of the world was also the main reason why Haihan arranged for him to join the mission.
As for how to deal with such a situation, Shi Chengwu had already explained to Zhu Zian, so the mission did not thank the guests behind closed doors, but temporarily canceled Zhu Zian's work and asked him to concentrate on receiving these uninvited guests.
This is of course also a test for Zhu Zian. His performance in front of these Ming Dynasty supporters will greatly affect his future development prospects. If the performance does not meet Haihan's expectations, then maybe this mission will
Overseas will be the highlight of his short career.
Zhu Zian was actually very nervous at this time. He had just learned the day before that the propaganda agency affiliated with Haihan had begun to publicize his deeds in newspapers more than a month ago to build momentum for his mission to North Korea. And this kind of
The propaganda has lasted for more than a month, using a series of reports and articles to attract people's attention. Now I dare not say that everyone in the Seoul area knows it, but anyone who knows about the visit of the Haihan Mission has probably heard of his deeds.
.
Zhu Zian did not expect Haihan to have such means in North Korea. A few days ago, he thought that North Koreans would not pay too much attention to him, but things were obviously not that simple. He should have thought that Haihan would invest so much in himself.
resources, he would definitely not allow himself to complete his mission in obscurity.
"You will meet the guests here later. Mr. Chang from the newspaper office and I will listen to the conversation in the next room." Shi Chengwu personally brought Zhu Zian to the reception room and warned him unabashedly.
Zhu Zian respectfully agreed. The man standing next to Shi Chengwu had met him at the dinner party two days ago and knew that this man was the editor-in-chief of the local newspaper. And his deeds of joining Haihan could be heard in the local area.
It spread quickly, which should be attributed to this person.
Now that the people from the newspaper office have arrived, there will probably be new reports in the newspapers after today's meeting with the visitors. Zhu Zian knew that his next words and deeds might become the material for Mr. Chang's writings.
I was very energetic right now.
Shi Chengwu and Chang Zhenguo walked to another adjacent room. This room was very dark. There was a person sitting in the room. It was Fu Li, the person in charge of the embassy.
Fu Li didn't say much, just nodded and motioned for them to sit down.
There is only one wall between this room and the reception room next to it, and sound transmission pipes have been buried during the construction. You can hear the conversation next door clearly here. It is a special room used to monitor important meetings.
place. But in order to prevent the sound from being transmitted back to the next door, everyone in this room needs to keep quiet.
There is also a one-way glass mirror inlaid on the wall inside the house. This kind of silver-coated glass can greatly reduce the light transmittance of one side of the glass. As long as there is a significant difference in the light intensity of the environment on both sides of the glass, dark spaces can be achieved.
The effect of one-way monitoring of bright areas. In the reception room on the other side, this one-way mirror is made into a decorative mirror hanging on the wall, which is not particularly eye-catching.
To build such a special surveillance darkroom, in addition to special equipment such as sound transmission pipes and one-way glass, a special architectural design plan is required to achieve the sound collection and lighting requirements of the reception room.
Of course, it was not the Seoul embassy that could integrate these resources, but Haihan's intelligence agency. Fu Li worked in the Police Department in his early years and was inextricably linked to the intelligence agencies. Later, he was transferred to Seoul.
He took over the local intelligence work when there was a shortage of personnel. This darkroom specially used to monitor important talks was built during his tenure.
Shi Chengwu was well-informed and was not surprised by this, while Chang Zhenguo was exposed to this ingenious mechanism for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel amazed at the moment. But he also knew very well why he was allowed to enter such a secret
He quickly gathered his thoughts and turned his attention to the reception room next door.
People who come to the embassy to visit Zhu Zian all have a common characteristic. When they enter the room and see no one around them, and after asking about Zhu Zian's identity, they will immediately kneel down and bow. The respectful attitude they show is undoubtedly that they regard Zhu Zian as a person.
It became a symbol of Ming Dynasty imperial power.
Zhu Zian was very calm, and would not sit down to receive the ceremony. Instead, he stood up to get out of the way, and emphasized that he was a Haihan official here and did not represent the Ming Dynasty royal family.
Of course, the other party may not be able to hear what he says, and most people will still kowtow three times before getting up to greet him.
The opinions expressed by these people towards Zhu Zian are also similar. They all hope that he can take the initiative to speak out and clarify various false rumors about him in the world, especially those reports about him in the Peninsula Times. Some die-hards are even more encouraging.
Shouting, demanding that Zhu Zian give up his current position and regain his status as a royal child in order to restore the dignity of the Ming Dynasty.
Zhu Zian still seemed relatively calm in the face of such a request, and would reply to the other party in a calm tone: "I would like to clarify that the report about me in the Peninsula Times is not a rumor, but a fact. I serve Haihan from the bottom of my heart.
, has not been subjected to any coercion and has no plans to resign for the time being."
Zhu Zian will then comfort the other party to recognize the general trend as soon as possible and stop clinging to the old ways or hoping for the restoration of the Ming Dynasty.
When the visitors saw Zhu Zian's firm attitude, most of them left in despair. Of course, there were also those who were disappointed with him and beat their chests and feet on the spot, lamenting that the Ming Dynasty was about to end.
Zhu Zian's mood is quite complicated. On the one hand, he feels that it is not easy for so many people overseas to believe in the authority of the Ming Dynasty. On the other hand, he also knows that the Ming Dynasty has been exhausted. It depends on these guys who talk about reviving the Ming Dynasty.
, it is absolutely impossible to defeat the powerful Haihan.
They kept emphasizing the orthodoxy and authority of the Ming Dynasty, but they just refused to admit that their lifelong faith had fallen. If they really wanted to fight against Haihan, how could they live in Seoul and expect a descendant of the Zhu family who had surrendered to Haihan to come?
Change the general trend of the world.
All kinds of dissatisfaction and unwillingness are, after all, just the grievances of a group of old people and young people.
