Chapter Ninety-Five: The Origin of the Spies
The task was completed very smoothly.
But I haven't closed my eyes for a minute since last night.
By the time we arrived at the crash course dormitory, it was already early in the morning.
It's like a day or two of sleeplessness.
The whole person was about to be paralyzed from exhaustion.
Meng Shaoyuan lay down on the bed, his head had just been stained with a pillow, and he had already fallen asleep.
Dreaming all night.
One moment he dreamed that he had returned to his own time, and the other he dreamed that the Japanese surrounded him and pointed all their guns at his head.
But even in his dreams, Meng Shaoyuan has always been there to warn himself:
I'm a spy, and I can't say a word in my dreams no matter what.
Not a single word!
He saw Matsudaira Izuo holding a gun at him, and then pulled the trigger with a hideous face.
"Bang"!
Meng Shaoyuan jumped up from the bed violently.
Sweating.
There are no Japanese, still in their own dormitories.
"Nightmare?"
Forehead?
Meng Shaoyuan turned his head and saw that it was He Ruyi.
A basin with steamed buns fell to the ground, which should be the gunshot in the dream just now.
"Old, clumsy."
He Ruyi leaned over and picked up the basin and steamed buns: "It's noon, I saw that you haven't woken up yet, so I went to the canteen to get you food." There are braised pork ribs in the canteen today, and they are very fragrant. ”
It's noon?
Good guy, how long have you been asleep?
In a tray, one meat, two vegetables and one soup, plus two white steamed buns.
Meng Shaoyuan hurriedly got up and washed.
He Ruyi peeled off the scalp of the steamed bun that had just fallen to the ground, and said:
"Xiao Meng, Li Liangde has already made a situation report with me, and it is good, the false information has been sent, and you have also gained the trust of Matsudaira Yinan. It's a pity that as soon as the study is over, you will have to go back, and when the time comes, it will be a trouble to find 'Cheng Yinju' again. ”
"It's okay, Mr. He." Meng Shaoyuan put down the towel: "If you need me, I can rush back from Nanjing at any time." ”
"Well, that's the only way to do it when you have to. Come, eat, young man, hungry. ”
Meng Shaoyuan took the steamed bun, took a bite, sandwiched a chopstick dish, and ate it with relish.
In the end, I was young, I slept for so long, I was full of energy, and my physical strength was all recovered, and I suddenly felt hungry, and everything I ate in my mouth was delicious.
He Ruyi looked at Meng Shaoyuan, who was eating happily, and his eyes were full of love: "Eat slowly, as the old saying goes, you have to chew and swallow slowly, eating fast is not good for the stomach." ”
"Uh-huh."
Meng Shaoyuan said this, but the speed of the chopsticks in his hand did not slow down at all.
After a while, two steamed buns, one meat and two vegetarian dishes, with a bowl of soup, were swept away by him, and they were eaten cleanly.
Meng Shaoyuan was satisfied.
"Young people, what is a good appetite."
He Ruyi smiled: "Half a child, eat a poor man." My eldest son, when he was at home, was 16 years old, good guy, and could eat three big white steamed buns in one meal. His mother always said that half of the family's rations went to the boy's stomach. ”
"Where is your son now?" Meng Shaoyuan asked casually.
"Dead."
Yes?
Meng Shaoyuan was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Teacher He, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. ”
"It's okay, dead is dead."
He Ruyi sighed: "My eldest son, joined the National Army at the age of 19, and was promoted to second lieutenant not long after, and later fought with the Zhilu Coalition Army, in the 17th year of the Republic of China, the two sides fought a decisive battle in eastern Henan, and there was a Puxi Ridge battle, which was said to be a big war, but in fact, the two sides were very lively, but a big battle, a total of five people died, and my son was unfortunate that he was one of the five people. ”
It's unlucky.
Meng Shaoyuan knew that when the warlords were fighting, what kind of decisive battle, after one battle, a few people could die.
There were even times when the muzzles of the guns on both sides were fired indiscriminately in the air.
That Feng Dashuai took hundreds of thousands of elites and wanted to sweep the world, but a plane flew in the sky and manually dropped two bombs, and in the explosion, hundreds of thousands of "elites" all ran away.
He Ruyi's son is also unlucky.
"It's okay, I have three sons." He Ruyi was very calm when he said this: "The second son is working in the government, and the younger son is also from our Lixing Society, and now he is working at Hankou Station. In the future, you will have the opportunity to meet. ”
"Where's your wife?" Meng Shaoyuan asked cautiously.
"Hometown." He Ruyi smiled: "The insider is illiterate, and she is a rural woman in northern Jiangsu." ”
Meng Shaoyuan was a little curious: "Teacher, you used to work in Nanjing, and I was personally selected by you, but then why did you leave and come to Hangzhou to teach?" ”
"It's not teaching, it's training spies."
He Ruyi's tone was a little self-deprecating: "As for me, in China, I did this business relatively early, and I can be regarded as an old man among spies." I remember that when President Yuan was still alive, I became a spy. Of course, it wasn't called a spy at that time...... By the way, do you know where the word 'spy' came from? ”
Meng Shaoyuan shook his head in confusion.
Secret agent? Isn't that synonymous with agent?
Of course, the agent is nowhere near as tall as the agent sounds.
"Back then, Aoki Xuanchun, a Japanese spy who was calling for wind and rain in China, formed four task classes during the Russo-Japanese War, and later the word 'spy' evolved from Aoki Xuanchun's 'special task class'."
He Ruyi said slowly:
"What about the later President Yuan? At that time, he was still the Minister of Military Training and the Governor of Zhili. Aoki Xuanchun wanted President Yuan's help and instructed horse thieves in Manchuria and Mongolia to revolt and disrupt the Russian army from the rear and flanks.
President Yuan Da found his idea very interesting and could find some way for him. However, it is forbidden to create disturbances in the territory of Zhili Province under its jurisdiction, killing two birds with one stone.
As a result, President Yuan Da selected 30 capable non-commissioned officers from his subordinates, and sent them to Aoki for his drive under the pretext of escaping. ”
Speaking of this, He Ruyi paused slightly: "I am one of the thirty non-commissioned officers. ”
"Ahh Meng Shaoyuan exclaimed in a low voice.
He Ruyi didn't prepare to hide anything: "Aoki Xuanchun, from the thirty of us, ten people were carefully selected and assigned to those four task classes, and I was one of them. ”
No way!
The teacher He in front of him is old enough.
"At that time, under the intelligence and cover transmitted by a Japanese female spy, Kahara Caozi, the female teacher of the Karaqin King, the students of our four mission classes blew up and cut off the Liaohe Bridge."
Meng Shaoyuan suddenly found that a trace of pain and self-blame flashed in He Ruyi's eyes.
He Ruyi sighed deeply: "Later, the battle of Liaoyang between Japan and Russia ended with a great victory for Japan, and one of the very important reasons was the accurate information provided by the special task squad of Aoki propaganda.
In a lama temple in Jinzhou, Aoki Nobujun convened his subordinates and announced the end of the first phase of the mission, and the task at this stage was to still organize a special task squad to recruit horse thieves active in various parts of the Northeast to form the East Asian Volunteer Army and cooperate with the regular army. ”
