1890 King of Southeast Asia

The third day after Liu Yiming was "injured".

During these three days, the Ziwei Palace was under martial law, the guards stopped taking leave, and the flow of personnel was strictly controlled. Except for the top leaders, no one knew Liu Yiming's situation.

The leader was attacked, which caused some unrest in the whole Nanhua. The people spontaneously formed various organizations and groups to conduct a rough but comprehensive investigation of the entire society.

…

In Semarang, Huang Wenbing had just finished inspecting the various river sections and confirmed that the water level could still be controlled. The weather was gradually clearing up, so he returned to the office.

Sitting in the chair, he held a pile of documents in his hand, but he couldn't calm down to deal with them.

"Wenbing, are you there?" A familiar voice came from outside the door.

"Mayor, I just came back from the river. Don't worry, the water level can still be controlled, but I suggest digging a reservoir in the middle of the river section next year to facilitate peak shifting."

Huang Wenbing stood up, opened the door, and said to Yi Zhonghu.

He was responsible for the river in the southern part of the town, and the mayor and deputy mayor were responsible for the river in the middle and northern parts.

The terrain in the south is more rugged and prone to mountain torrents and mudslides. The mayor basically comes to his office every day, and he is used to it.

"That's good. It seems that the rain will pass this time. The reservoir digging can only be dealt with after the rainy season. This time I came to you for other things..." The mayor nodded and looked back.

Huang Wenbing looked at the person behind the mayor curiously. He was wearing a strange military uniform without military rank and insignia. Only militiamen wear it like this.

However, the uniforms of the Semarang militia will have many insignias, such as the lion insignia of the Semarang militia, the insignia of the subordinate areas, the insignia of where they come from, and so on.

But this person has no insignias.

"Hello, Director Huang, I am Liu Zhiyong from the Sishui City Reserve Management Office." The man took the initiative to come up and shook Huang Wenbing's hand.

"Reserve Management Office?" Huang Wenbing's face was full of doubts. Hearing this, he should be a cadre, but there was nothing on his shoulders and chest.

"Wenbing, go in and talk." Yi Zhonghu looked at the stunned Huang Wenbing and said aside.

"Oh! Come on, come on, sit down, Liu..." Huang Wenbing opened his mouth.

"Call me Brother Liu, he's my comrade-in-arms, and this time I came here specifically to see you." The mayor lit a cigarette on the side.

"Ah? Come here specifically to see me?" Huang Wenbing looked at the two in surprise.

"It's like this, you've heard about His Majesty's injury, right?" Liu Zhiyong held a cigarette and sat on the stool with a heavy face.

"This... Is His Majesty really seriously injured?" Huang Wenbing was stunned for a moment and asked nervously.

"I don't know, the relevant personnel were controlled at the first time, and we don't know the specific situation. But... there was indeed an explosion." Liu Zhiyong took a breath.

For a while, the atmosphere in the office became heavy, no one spoke, and several people smoked in silence.

"By the way, I came to you this time because I have something serious to say, Lao Liu." Yi Zhonghu broke the silent atmosphere and looked at Liu Zhiyong.

After hearing this, Huang Wenbing also turned his head to look at Liu Zhiyong.

"Ahem! After the incident, His Majesty and the Prime Minister did not send anyone to Sishui. This is a sign of trust in the people of Sishui, but this incident happened in Sishui after all..."

"Sishui is about to start an internal review. We need to conduct an investigation of all public officials. This matter is not suitable for the departments of Sishui to do."

"I heard from Zhonghu that your shooting skills are very accurate. You can hit the target quickly within 100 meters."

"I want to second you to Sishui to participate in internal review supervision and possible execution work." Liu Zhiyong threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stomped it out with one foot, his eyes flickering.

"Ah?"

Huang Wenbing cried out in surprise and waved his hands quickly.

"I have only participated in militia training, and I can't do it."

This thing sounds very high-end. He has only fought natives and wild beasts. He has never been in contact with this field.

"Don't worry, we will conduct a training session, and there are also people who will work with you. This thing is not difficult." Liu Zhiyong said while winking at Yi Zhonghu.

"Wen Bing, just go and help. We really can't find anyone. This is also to catch those hidden termites and traitors! Send them all to the mine!" Yi Zhonghu said with a fierce look in his eyes.

"How long will it take? I can briefly explain it to my family." Huang Wenbing thought for a while and asked with a firm look.

"One month, no more than two months at most." Liu Zhiyong thought for a while and said.

"Okay!" Huang Wenbing agreed.

As the place where Nanhua started, Sishui was very angry about this incident.

The first day of the attack was fine, just a lot of discussion, everyone treated it as a rumor.

The next day, the news was confirmed. Liu Yiming was attacked and injured during his inspection of Sishui, and the whole country knew about it.

The people began to search for all suspicious persons in anger. In the end, the public officials except the army were not trusted, and the militia began to supervise and take over control.

This is the result of compromise. Only the army and the militia are trusted by the people because the army is loyal to the emperor and is not controlled by officials who may be corrupt.

Including the Sishui government, they were more willing to let the army in for a comprehensive inspection.

However, although the army entered the city, they only obeyed the emperor's orders to maintain basic order, and did not enter a state of martial law, participate in investigations, or assist in arrest operations.

At this time, the militia organization entered everyone's field of vision.

The militia is more complex. The battalions are not subordinate to each other and accept the leadership of the general team, but before they are transformed into formal troops, they have a lot of freedom.

In combat, this is a disadvantage, after all, they are not subordinate to each other and have poor coordination, but in investigation, this is an advantage.

The militia is generally composed of people from all walks of life in the local area. They are very familiar with the local area, and suspicious people cannot escape their intelligence lines at all.

Just like the Chaoyang aunt.

And these people can be further combined with multiple battalions to form a monitoring group to monitor the progress of the review.

However, Surabaya is so big, and there are so many militias. It seems a bit overwhelmed to do patrols, investigations, monitoring, and execution of arrests.

They had to find people from the surrounding areas, but at this time the entire Java Island was violently investigating the natives and suppressing various religious organizations.

Especially around Surabaya, because they heard that the mastermind behind the attack on the emperor had escaped, the Chinese thought they had fled to the countryside, so that the Chinese in the countryside looked like spies to everyone, and there were not enough people.

As a last resort, Surabaya sought personnel support from Semarang, the most relaxed city in Java, which is why Liu Zhiyong came.

Even if Semarang was relaxed, it was still conducting self-investigation. The militia "escorted" the police to investigate the whole city, and the personnel were not sufficient.

On the contrary, the personnel structure was relatively simple in the local areas, mainly in the townships transformed from the Construction Corps, mainly farmers, which had little value for spies and were difficult to integrate.

So Surabaya turned its target here.

The next day, Huang Wenbing said goodbye to Huang Suqing, boarded the train and went to Surabaya.

At the same time, some organizations were also ready to move...
