Chapter 1333 New subordinates
After seeing the third message, Fang Linyan sighed and shook his head.

Obviously, the decline of China has gradually disappointed Britain, and it is ready to support Japan to fight against Russia.

The only relatively good news is that Russia is unwilling to let it go, claiming to pay for the blood debts of the 37 Russian citizens who died on the Keshan, and has begun to increase its troops to the Far East!

You know, less than a hundred kilometers above Hokkaido, Japan, is Russia's territory, and Russia's desire to occupy the four northern islands has never stopped for a moment! !

The Japanese cabinet is also very nervous, because at this time Japan is out-and-out strong, and all national systems have become tense. empires will fall due to economic collapse.

At this time, the war with the Qing Dynasty had made them nervous, and they were walking on thin ice. If an old power like Tsarist Russia intervened, the consequences would be disastrous.

At this time, Fang Linyan looked at the progress bar of the war again, and found that there was not much change from before. Obviously, the space fighters on both sides had not made any substantial progress.

Then Fang Linyan drank the remaining half glass of sake in front of him, then bowed slightly to the izakaya owner who was wearing a rendanhu in front of him, said "Arigado", and then came to the streets of Nagasaki port.

The weather is light rain,

The sky is cloudy,

There is a strong fishy smell in the nose,

The urban construction here has begun to take shape. Before Fang Linyan's eyes, a row of wooden telephone poles stretches into the distance. The human rickshaws on the street have exaggeratedly huge wheels, even reaching the height of a person.

The Japanese who pulled the cart were short and thin, wearing livery with their surnames on the front and back, and rubber shoes similar to flip-flops under their feet.

Even if it rains, the hardened ground will not look muddy, and there is a stern-faced patrolman in uniform with a whistle in his mouth, watching the movement around him vigilantly, and wearing a westernized saber on his waist.

However, here is what it looks like near the port, and in the hilly area far away, traditional Japanese buildings are densely arranged, and there is nowhere better than Tianjin.

Most of the pedestrians on the street are short and stooped men with white cloth belts on their heads. Most of these people are Japanese dock workers. Years of hard work can only barely make them enough to eat and support their families. people only.

Once a disease occurs, it will be a disaster for the family, and it is very common for women in the family to become prostitutes.

About every ten meters away, Fang Linyan could see a shop hung with pink lanterns, and some women in colorful kimonos were sitting or standing inside, and the pink on their faces fell off when they smiled.

But this is a port. For sailors from various countries who have sailed for a long time, it would be nice to have a place to vent their exuberant energy that has nowhere to vent. For most sailors, women are better than men.

So all the custom shops here can be said to be booming in business. Of course, the Japanese government also imposed heavy taxes on this industry at this time, and their combined fleet was squeezed out of the bottom Japanese bit by bit.

After Fang Linyan left the port area, he realized that muddy roads, moldy thatched roofs, and busy and dirty farmers began to appear in front of his eyes. This kind of poverty, dirty, and backward appearance is the most real face of Japan. .

However, Fang Linyan felt that an indescribable vitality emerged from these people who silently endured four times the heavy tax!

This kind of vitality is invisible to those banner people in BJ and the people. It is like the young weeds sprouting tenaciously under the rocks. It absorbs nutrients and grows desperately.

"I'm so sorry." Fang Linyan pressed the straw hat on his head to protect him from the rain, and said silently, "I'm here to destroy all of this."

At this time, Fang Linyan had already given up his plan to assassinate the current Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito. This was a lesson learned from Li Gongzhang, because Li Gongzhang had been assassinated three times so far, but he was still safe and sound. Instead, the assassin was killed. Killed a lot.

With everyone's attributes compressed, Fang Linyan didn't think that his assassination methods could be much better than others.

Obviously, this kind of core figure who has left a great reputation in history must be extra protected by the power of the plane.

When he passed through Shanghai before, he specially spent some time conducting an in-depth investigation of the current situation in Japan.

Because of the contacts introduced by Wang Wu and Qiao's family, and of course, Fang Linyan is not short of money now. Not only that, in the past few years, there was a trend of staying in Japan in China, so it didn't cost Fang Linyan to obtain this information. too long time.

This time when he came to Nagasaki, there were six people on his assassination list. Fang Linyan set himself a passing mark of four people. start.

As for destroying equipment such as shipyards or docks, there is still a full month and a half before the Sino-Japanese naval battle in the Sino-Japanese War that I remember. The Japanese side has enough time to repair and buffer, so Fang Linyan listed it as an alternative plan.

Next, it was boring to squat, stalk, and collect information. To be honest, Fang Linyan was not good at this.

But now he has a backer. Laurent's summoning time had arrived a week ago, and now Fang Linyan didn't need him anymore, so he became a party member again.

So Fang Linyan asked Laurent to bring a message when he returned, and asked Evelina to send him a senior spy. If possible, he should have a better understanding of Japanese history at this time.

The night was gradually falling, and the rain was still pouring down. Fang Linyan found a cheap hotel to live in. Looking over from the dilapidated sunny doll on the window sill, he could see a long line of Japanese workers starting to appear on the street. , They greeted the arrival of get off work with numb expressions and mechanical movements. Even so, there was still a foreman called "Namowen" yelling and cursing beside them.

In view of the very poor sound insulation of Japanese houses, Fang Linyan carefully checked the rooms on the left and right of him, and after making sure that there was no one there, he directly cast the Enhanced Spiritual Words spell to summon.

The light shone, and the teleportation array was activated, and then an old man who looked about 60 years old stepped into the room.

He was wearing a tuxedo and a bow tie. His appearance looked a bit like Sean Connery's gentlemanly look. He knelt down humbly to Fang Linyan and took off his hat.

"Your Excellency, Knight Commander, I am Lamin, and I am honored to serve you."

Fang Linyan nodded and said:
"Tell me about your experience. I think Laurent has submitted my request."

Lamin smiled and said:
"Master Knight, my situation is quite special. I became a believer after the goddess recovered, and then I was granted the grace of the goddess half a year ago and entered the kingdom of God."

Fang Linyan was stunned for a moment, and after a moment of hesitation, he came back to his senses and understood La Ming's subtext. He was a person of the same plane as himself before he was alive!They are not devout believers brought by the goddess from the magic plane.

So Fang Linyan said:

"The goddess has only been revived in our plane for about three years. You must have made a great contribution to the goddess if you were able to receive divine grace and enter the kingdom of God in such a short period of time."

Lamin said modestly:

"I just did a little thing. I was in charge of the design of the Shenen Square, and at the same time, I developed nearly a thousand believers for the goddess."

"However, although I am well-known in the construction industry, my real occupation is not a designer."

Fang Linyan said:

"Then what did you do before?"

Lamin smiled and said:
"Spy, I've been spying in Japan all this time."

After talking in detail, Fang Linyan had a basic understanding of Laming.

Born in 1930, he is of American-Japanese mixed race. His mother (Japan) abandoned him very early, and he was raised by his father. Over 20 years of spying.

While working as a spy, Lamin's wife was a professor of architecture at the University of Tokyo, so Lamin also became very interested in it.Then after retiring from the spy industry, he became an architect with strong communication skills and corresponding professional skills.

More importantly, during the 20 years of living in Japan, he also has enough understanding of Japan.And this is something that most of the believers in the Goddess' Kingdom of God can't do—because they are all Greeks, and they probably only heard the name Japan.

To be honest, Fang Linyan was very satisfied with La Ming, patted him on the shoulder and said:
"OK, Lamin, now let me introduce our environment and my needs to you."

***
Half an hour later, La Ming, who had changed his appearance, left Fang Linyan's room. At this time, he had already dressed up like a Japanese ronin at that time. He looked about forty years old, wearing a dirty kimono, and exuding a heavy odor. Smelly of alcohol, walking crookedly.

Such ronin who look like wild dogs are very common in the port, which is the most common destination of the wild samurai who lost their lord at the end of the Tokugawa period. They spend their time in drinking and wandering, or go to work as thugs for the underworld, becoming "hard-hearted sticks" .

People at the time mocked: In addition to the quilt and pot in the wild warrior's home, there is a big stone. When he feels cold, he can lift the big stone to keep warm.

After hearing Fang Linyan's plan, La Ming proposed another idea, which was to find an agent.

In a port like Nagasaki, fish and dragons are mixed. Every day, an unknown number of strangers come in, and an unknown number of people leave.And now it is still in 1894 when the technology is very backward, basically in the era of anti-theft relying on dogs, traffic relying on walking, and entertainment relying on hands.

Therefore, the law and order in this place must not be much better, and the bottom society must be relatively chaotic, such as smugglers, contraband sellers, gangsters, etc., even if it is official estimates, it will be smeared.

Under such circumstances, if one or two bosses of gangsters can be controlled and mobilized to do things, lure them with profit, and bully them, it will definitely be much better than fighting alone.

Obviously, Fang Linyan felt that Laming's opinion was quite good, at least better than his previous plan.

There is a saying that the employer is not suspicious, and the suspect is not, so Fang Linyan let him do it, and he stayed in the small hotel to play with parts with peace of mind.

After spending two days, Laming has already set his sights on a gang called the Marukou-gumi. This gang was originally a small smuggling gang that sold all kinds of news. The big boss is called Tokugawa Shinobi.

When Fang Linyan heard his name for the first time, he thought he was an out-and-out ninja, but unfortunately, this guy is fat and big-eared, less than 1.6 meters tall, and definitely weighs more than [-] catties. Panting.

At that time, Fang Linyan still felt that the gang was too small, but after La Ming's explanation, he realized that the backbone members of the gang were professional thugs who were completely out of production and were only supported by the gang. They were called Ruozhong.

And each Ruozhong will also lead five to ten ordinary members. Even if these five to ten ordinary members are semi-part-time, they usually do fishmongers, merchants, porters, etc. There is money to be taken when the gang is out.

Therefore, there are actually hundreds of people in the Maruguchi group.

The reason why La Ming chose Tokugawa Shinobi is because fat people are usually obsessed with pleasure and indulge in sex, so their willpower is poor. In addition, Tokugawa Shinobi has several women and six or seven children, so it is easier Threat control.

Of course, more importantly, Tokugawa Shinobu was able to gain a foothold in this place because his sister married the local police inspector, and her relationship network can be said to be densely covered with black and white.

So on the night of the third day, La Ming told Fang Linyan that the time was ripe and it was time to act. Fang Linyan changed into a suit of clothes, and then went to ambush with La Ming.

The two walked silently in the dark night. At first, they were still walking on the street, but later they walked in the alley. Here, one foot is deep and the other is shallow. The sandals and trousers Fang Linyan was wearing They were all splashed with a lot of muddy water.

Soon, they came to the entrance of a dojo. On the open space next to it, there were many rickshaws, horse-drawn carriages, etc., and the drivers all got together and chatted.

Although there are two lanterns the size of pumpkins hanging at the gate, it still looks quite dim at night. It can be said that it is difficult to see the words "Charcoal Roasted Meatball Road" written on the door plaque. There is also a black word "Tao" written on it.

Standing at the door were several men dressed as waiters, but there was a surly aura about them.
