Jiangnan is an area that Xiao Letian must be very careful in controlling. It is not possible to lose Jiangnan, but it is even more impossible to intervene too deeply. Last year, the incident of the New Army's attack on the Shanghai Daotai Mansion has already caused dissatisfaction among the British side. The British Commissioner of the Shanghai Concession once secretly wrote to Xiao Letian, hoping that the British Empire should be notified in advance if such an action is taken next time.

The Yangtze River Basin is the sphere of influence of the British. They began to manage their own forces in this area since the Daoguang period. Two Opium Wars, one Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War, and countless benefits were seized by the chaotic British people in Jiangnan.

Now Jiangnan is the court, the Hunan Army has the British, and Xiao Letian's influence in this area is roughly the same as that of the French, and should rank fourth in the fourth place.

However, Xiao Letian is a Chinese after all, and he has very consistent political ideas with Zeng Guofan, so both sides are now in a half-alliance state.

The reason why the bonds issued by Xiao Letian did not receive full counterattack from British bankers is that until now, Westerners think that the source of wealth was jointly operated by the Hunan Army and Ryukyu, and at this moment, the huge Hunan Army group even dare not provoke them directly.

But no one knew that there was no secret agreement between Xiao Letian and Zeng Guofan, and the relationship between the two sides was far less intimate than the outside world thought. In order to make up for this link, Xiao Letian prepared to secretly visit Jiangnan after the first lunar month.

It must be a secret, because Xiao Letian's identity is too sensitive now. If the Qing Dynasty and Europe knew that he had a secret meeting with Zeng Guofan, the entire situation in East Asia would change drastically.

The Hunan Army Group is now in its heyday. Although it is a bit exaggerated to the public, Zuo Zongtang easily took away 70,000 to 80,000 people, it can be seen that the Hunan Army's elites can even get 200,000 to 300,000.

This is already a huge military group in Asia. If we join forces with Xiao Letian, the number one military group in East Asia will probably be a headache for the British.

It’s not that they can’t defeat them, but that they can’t send so many troops. Who dares to move the troops of the European powers to expedition to Asia? His hometown doesn’t want it anymore.

The Qing court was even more afraid of such a scene. They still don’t know that Zeng Guofan had secretly gone to Tanggu, and two hidden dragons, one old and one young, had already touched their heads.

If they knew, I'm afraid the country of thousands of miles is already bloody at this moment.

So Xiao Letian had to go secretly and quickly finish his own affairs and immediately continue to go south. On the one hand, Xiao Letian promised to take Zaichun to study abroad, while on the other hand, he had to go to Europe again to negotiate face-to-face with Besmai.

The Spanish Revolution in 1868 was about to break out. Now Prussia is secretly plotting against France. The iron-blooded prime minister is preparing to use the Spanish thorn to tease Napoleon III's anger until France declares war on its own initiative.

The French-Prussian War, this is the most important drama in Europe in the 19th century, how could Xiao Letian miss it?

The CIA built inside a secret base on Amami Oshima, Zaijun discovered an incredible thing, and in a house, he actually saw himself.

That's right, through the small window, he saw himself standing beside Xiao Letian, listening to his subordinates' reports. In front of him were Wang Huaiyuan, Sima Yun, Xiao Hexin, Luo Huo... and even the fourth eunuch and the fourth guards.

Zai Chun looked back and looked behind him, but found that these people were not disappearing by his side. Did he see the ghost? Not only did Zai Chun be scared, but Da Sixi, the inexpensive eunuch, turned his eyes and fainted.

Xiao Letian pushed open the door and smiled, "They are our substitutes. The CIA spent several years secretly looking for..." There were indeed a group of substitutes in the room. When he looked back, he saw that the main owner was coming, he stood up and bowed to salute.

Xiao Letian pointed to a gentleman next to him and said, "His name is Xiao Xiulian, a senior intelligence officer of the CIA. He is best at disguise and makeup. He will accompany us throughout the trip this time. It depends on him for confidential work..."

Xiao Xiulian smiled and said, "Sir, Your Majesty, these substitutes are actually just similar in appearance. They can only deceive some outsiders. After seeing them, they can still find different things. And the worst thing is that their voices cannot be changed, so when we leave, the substitutes can only appear in the newspaper from time to time..."

"The Qing Dynasty's Min Daily can be released regularly now. We send photos of our substitutes from time to time. I want to deceive the court and those ambassadors, but there is still no problem..."

Xiao Letian patted his shoulder, "Thank you for your hard work. This secret visit to Europe also requires your disguise. Whether you can avoid the eyes of French spies depends on you."

"It will definitely live up to the Prime Minister's expectations..."

Zaichun was childish and proud at this time. He ran to his substitute and stared at him tightly. He even pinched his face, "You put on makeup, there is powder on your face... What's your name? Where are you..."

The child opposite could not pretend to be the temperament of the Nine Five Lord, which made Zai Chun's knees soft and kneel down to the ground, and said a series of birds in his mouth.

Wang Huaiyuan smiled and said, "He is a Korean, named Jin Liufu, and he can't speak Chinese... He was begging Your Majesty not to be angry and don't drive him home. He can't bear to leave the braised pork here every day..."

"Jin Liufu, okay, as long as you are dedicated, I will guarantee that you can eat braised pork every day, and it will be a decisive." Zai Chun also stretched out his hand as he said that.

Jin Liufu couldn't believe that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty would take the initiative to shake hands with him. At that moment, he was full of mission and vowed to do the glorious profession of substitute until his death.

Wang Huaiyuan began to give orders to the heads of various departments of the CIA, that the substitutes would appear every few days, how many minutes each time, take a few photos, when to visit the sea on a boat, and when to inspect the military and civilians in Shuri Castle, all the plays would be performed.

It is expected that Xiao Letian will stay in Jiangnan for about two months and set off for Nanyang in early summer. At that time, the substitutes will perform a farewell ceremony at the dock.

Intelligence work is a meticulous job, not a meticulous person who cannot do this job. Xiao Letian and even an outsider cannot lead an expert, so he quickly left the secret base with Zaichun.

Amami Oshima is now very rich, with sugarcane fields and orchards everywhere. The master and apprentice each walked and drank while walking. They were soon attracted by the shouts of killing behind a bush.

The two of them were just about to walk in from the fork in the road, when suddenly a few black shadows flew through the air. Master Long shouted and carefully rushed over and caught the Shuriken with his bare hands.

The ghostly ninja was moving in the bushes, and Master Long quickly fought with them. At this time, the little ghost of Mizuki and Haruna came out of it and said to Xiao Letian with a smile.

"The first training camp for women ninja training camp is underway... I didn't expect that Mr. Long came to train himself. It's a great honor."
