Chapter 41 Development of Eyeliner on
After receiving the telegram, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the contents. In the telegram, Liu Yuntian told Li Yunsheng completely about Chu Zu's thoughts. Although he had received the commendation, he thought that Chu Zu had to treat things in North China with caution. In order to be afraid of trouble, he could not even deal with some traitors publicly. This is the current situation in China.
I also thought that I could do my best in Tianjin, that is, I would install more eyeliners in the troops around Tianjin. But now, except for Zhang Hao who was sent to the Allied Army, Li Yunsheng didn’t even have an acquaintance in the other troops. How could he install eyeliners? Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng couldn’t help but frown. After all, it was not easy to buy eyeliners in the army. At least someone you know needs to understand the situation so that you can act, otherwise it would be easy to be exposed. No matter which unit’s chief officer, he would not be polite to know that someone was installing eyeliners in his own army.
Thinking of these troubles, Li Yunsheng was a little upset. He thought that he had been away from Tianjin for a few days. He didn't know what Meng Dong was doing now and whether he had been involved in the gang. Anyway, he couldn't calm down now, so he might as well go to Meng Dong to find out the situation. So according to the address left by Meng Dong, he came to a snack bar near Uncle Meng Dong's house, waiting for Meng Dong here.
This is the place that Li Yunsheng and Meng Dong agreed. Meng Dong would come here to have dinner at five o'clock every night. If Li Yunsheng had something to do, the two of them would meet at the snack bar at this time. When Meng Dong arrived, they saw Li Yunsheng sitting on a table and walked over, pretending to be unaware of it, saying, "Brother, set a table, let's eat together", and then sat down.
Then he carefully observed the surroundings, and when he saw that no one was paying attention to this place, he whispered: "Webmaster, why are you here? Is there anything wrong?"
Seeing Meng Dong's performance, Li Yunsheng couldn't help but nodded in satisfaction, and then said in a very low voice: "What have you done these days? Are things going well? Have you been involved in the gang?"
Meng Dong whispered: "Things went smoothly. There are many gangs in Tianjin. I am good at shooting skills and have good marksmanship. I still have family members in Tianjin, so I can easily join a small gang called the Changshui Gang. However, the Changshui Gang is not very powerful, and there are only seventy or eighty people in the entire gang. I control a street in the French Concession and survive by collecting protection fees and selling opium."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said, "Such a small gang should be easy to control. You can stay there for a while. After you figure out the way, I am sending a few people to help you. You should also make more friends with others, especially from other gangs, so that you can learn more information."
Meng Dong nodded and said, "I understand, I will do my best." Then he thought for a while and said, "Webmaster, as far as I know, many people in the Changshui Gang are not well-income, and they are barely enough to have enough food and clothing. If I want to make a quick start in the Changshui Gang, I just need to spend more money and win people's hearts, but in this way, I'm afraid it will take a lot of money."
Li Yunsheng was a little surprised when he heard Meng Dong's words. After all, the people in the gang came out and did everything, and they should have a lot of income. How could they only have enough food and clothing? So he asked: "Don't the Changshui Gang have a territory on the street? He would be so poor."
Meng Dong usually said: "Most of the money was taken away by the gang leader, and some of the bosses took away some of it. The brothers below could only drink some soup, so they were all very poor. Not only the Changshui Gang, but the other gangs were the same. However, the Changshui Gang's territory was too small and the gang leader was too greedy, so the gang members had less income."
Li Yunsheng thought about it carefully and had an idea in his mind. However, it was not the time yet, so he said to Meng Dong: "I will order tomorrow morning and I will give you 10,000 French currency here. You can use it to win people's hearts. Don't worry about money. As long as you can make a quick move, you must also be safe and don't be targeted by others."
Meng Dong nodded and said, "Don't worry, webmaster, I will pay attention. I will wait for you here tomorrow morning. As long as I have money, I will easily make a name for myself in the gang. After all, most of the people in the gang are for money, and loyal people only account for a small number." Then the two left one after dinner.
The next morning, Li Yunsheng first gave Meng Dong 10,000 French coins, and then came to Tianjin Station, thinking about how to plant nails like the troops around Tianjin. But the most difficult thing now is that he knew nothing about the situation of the troops around Tianjin, and he did not dare to take action without understanding the situation. The only person who had contact with was the 29th Army, which was a regiment-level army. Thinking of this, Li Yunsheng thought of Zhang Tianlai, whom he had just recruited, who had been in the troops in North China for many years. Although he was just a small soldier, he should have known many people for more than ten years. Moreover, although the 29th Army is not large in scale, it finally incorporated most of the Anti-Japanese Allied Army and became the main military force in North China.
So I asked someone to call Zhang Tianlai to the office. After Zhang Tianlai came in, he smiled and said to him, "How about it, can you get used to it when you come to Tianjin."
Zhang Tianlai said with a serious expression: "It's very good. His subordinates are just rough people and can get used to it anywhere. Moreover, the environment here is much better than the army. I don't know what the webmaster wants me to do." Zhang Tianlai's attitude made Li Yunsheng very satisfied. He did not become arrogant because he was recruited by Li Yunsheng himself, but instead showed his subordinates' attitude towards the superior.
Li Yunsheng said with satisfaction: "No need to be so restrained. I came to you to ask you whether you knew about Captain Li's situation when you were in the 29th Army, as well as how much other officers knew about them."
Zhang Tianlai thought about it and said, "I don't know much about the situation of the regiment commander. I only know that he is very strict in leading troops, but I don't know the rest. After all, I am just a soldier and cannot contact the regiment commander, but I know very well about the situation of our company commander."
Li Yunsheng thought about it and felt that although the status of the company commander was not high, it was still possible to develop into a spy. He could also learn about other people through this person, especially the 29th Army was about to be expanded, and many officers would be promoted by then, so he said: "Then let's talk about your company commander's situation."
Zhang Tianlai said: "The company commander is also a rude man. However, he dares to fight and fight. He dares to rush forward when fighting. I have known him for five or six years. When he was a platoon leader, he followed him. However, he is very loyal and protects his shortcomings. So sometimes he always contradicts his superiors for his subordinates, which is a problem. He doesn't like drinking."
Li Yunsheng hurriedly asked, "Who is he from? What is his name? He has the existence of his family." Li Yunsheng asked the most important question. After all, if there are no family members, there will be less concerns, and it will be more difficult to develop into a spy.
Zhang Tianlai hurriedly said, "The company commander is named Liu Jianlin, and he is from Hebei. His parents are still alive and have a wife and children. He lives in Luan County. However, the company commander's family is not very good, so although he likes to drink, he drinks some inferior wine."
Li Yunsheng asked again: "You are in the 29th Army or other troops, but you also know other people, preferably an officer you are familiar with."
Zhang Tianlai thought for a while and said, "I really know some officers. After all, I have been a soldier for so many years and have followed many commanders. However, after every time I am defeated, the troops will be disbanded and have been adapted several times. So I don't know if these commanders are still alive and which unit they are in."
Li Yunsheng thought for a while and said, "God comes, from today on, you will start looking for people you know, understand everyone you can find, and then ask Liu Jianlin out to meet me, which is the first task I have assigned you."
After hearing Li Yunsheng say this, Zhang Tianlai felt a little embarrassed. After hesitating for a while, he asked carefully: "Webmaster, why did you ask me to do these things? The company commander has been in the army in Peking, so it is not easy to ask him out to meet him."
When Li Yunsheng saw Zhang Tianlai in a dilemma, he immediately understood his thoughts and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I won't treat your Company Commander Liu, but I just want him to ask us for information. If he doesn't want to, I won't force him. Then I will ask you to meet him with me, so you can rest assured. As for asking you to contact other people, this is the purpose."
When Zhang Tianlai heard Li Yunsheng say this, he felt relieved and said, "Subordinately obey the order. I will go to Tianjin now and find a way to find someone I knew before, and then find an opportunity to help the webmaster make Corps Liu come to Tianjin."
Li Yunsheng nodded and said, "When you went to Tianjin, you brought your two brothers with you so that you can take care of it. If you have any news, send me a telegram. Here are the funds prepared for you, a total of 5,000 French coins." After that, he took out 5,000 French coins from the drawer and pushed them to Zhang Tianlai.
Zhang Tianlai was not polite. After picking up the fiat currency, he said to Li Yunsheng: "I'll go and prepare now and then go to Tianjin. But the webmaster, can you provide me with a strong certificate so that it will be more convenient for doing things."
Li Yunsheng really forgot about this, so he patted his head and said with a smile: "I really forgot about this. You are the first subordinate I recruited personally. This is your temporary certificate. Your official certificate will come down in two days." Then he took out the general ID of the secret service from the table and handed it to Zhang Tianlai.
After Zhang Tianlai took the ID, he said, "If the webmaster has nothing else, then the subordinate will leave." With Li Yunsheng's nodding, he turned around and left the office.
