Lu Ming

Chapter 293 Longyan Battle ([-])
Mr. Lan Da's real name is Nan Wang.

Nanwang was originally a talented scholar in Hangzhou, but when he worked as a cleaner for a salt merchant, he made Liu Niang, the concubine of his employer, pregnant, and then he ran away with Liu Niang.

After encountering robbers while running at sea, Nan Wang, who was almost killed, was rescued by the people who traveled through. After that, he began to help the people who traveled through work in Hangzhou.After the cross-travelers took over the top members, Nan Wang followed suit, and according to his characteristics, he was developed into an agent by the newly established Intelligence Bureau.

As the first agent recruited by the Intelligence Bureau, Nan Wang can be said to have been trained intensively: any veteran employee in the early stage of the force can get some convenience when it was first established.

As for his recruitment, it was Dai Yun, the director of the Intelligence Bureau, who personally came forward; and the subsequent training, due to the small scale at the beginning, Nan Wang was in charge of Ma Yue, the deputy director of the Intelligence Bureau who was from the National Security Bureau.

At the beginning, he was actually resistant to being a "secret agent".However, the situation is stronger than others: he is just a scholar who has not been ranked for many years, and the salt merchants have been provoked in Hangzhou.

What's more, with the deepening of understanding, Nan Wang became more and more aware of the mystery and strength of this group of people, and of course, their ruthlessness.

You know, he participated in the "Li Kui Project" related to the Hangzhou scientific examination, which can be regarded as "confidential".At this time, if you don't follow the path pointed out by others
Nan Wang's job is to be a clean guest. Not only must he export poetry, but he must also be able to tell market gossip and political opinions at any time. This kind of people usually understand the world and are not the kind of nerds, so Nan Wang is very concerned about his dangerous situation. A very clear judgment.

In the end, he could only keep his dissatisfaction in the bottom of his heart, and became this vague "intelligence bureau student".

The treatment of the students is quite good.As soon as Nan Wang arrived at Da Yuan, he was assigned a single house: the pregnant Liu Niang needed him to take care of her.

Different from the private and cruel "learning crafts" he imagined, Nan Wang was assigned to the newly built Chikan Primary School as a "teaching assistant" after "working" on the first day.

The teachers in Chikan Primary School are all high-achieving students who were screened out from the refugees in the early stage. These people are going to further their studies and also serve as primary school teachers at the same time.

And Nan Wang's first job as a teaching assistant was also to study: "Contrast Table of Traditional and Simplified Characters", "Concise Dictionary", "Explanation of Old and New Vocabulary", "A Brief History of Social Forms".

Sitting in the sunny office, Nan Wang's mood gradually settled down after studying: he is not a scholar, his family has fallen, and he has no gratitude to Daming.

He doesn't object to learning some simplified characters that are short of strokes and strokes. After all, this group of people treats him very well, with a monthly salary equivalent to three taels of silver. For work, the salary is also three taels.

Originally, Nanwang was reluctant, but all the women here have to go to work.Liu Niang, who has always been loved by the golden house, actually likes the feeling of going to work very much. She goes to work every day with a big belly and happily, and she still wants to be the director of the street office. Nan Wang has no choice but to let her go.

In addition, Liu Niang has also obtained the qualification to go to the hospital to check the fetus, which is very important: Nan Wang now knows that Liu Niang is pregnant with a daughter.

A scholar's writing skills are far superior to those of junior high school students in later generations, so Nan Wang quickly learned the comparison table of traditional and simplified characters.

However, his state of mind gradually changed when he learned the booklet "Explanation of Old and New Vocabulary".

Some of the words in the booklet already exist in ancient Chinese, but they have been given new meanings, and some are simply invented, such as "industrialization" and "battleship".Nanwang can recognize every word, but he can't understand the explanation. But he can see a world completely different from the Ming Dynasty from these words.

At this time, Ma Yue, who had been caring about his growth, appeared.Ma Yue not only took the time to explain the meaning of these new words to him, but also took Nanwang to watch the "science and education film" in the screening room of the Intelligence Bureau, so that he could thoroughly see what battleships and industrialization are.

Listening to the voice-over in the same tone as Shuuzhong, seeing the huge steel battleships on the screen emitting thick black smoke and firing deafening artillery, Nanwang is really shocking.But when he saw the workers on the assembly line and the non-stop machine production line, he fell silent.

"Is what Huaying said true or false? Where did you come from?"

If there were such a city-like iron ship and a steel mechanism that spewed out finished products day and night, then the transversal people would have ruled all nations long ago, so why go to this island to suffer?So Nan Wang immediately thought that everything on the screen was fake, it was just some clever movie.

Ma Yue didn't say anything, but took him to the kiln base.

After returning from the visit to the base, Nan Wang had a preliminary idea of ​​the so-called industrialization.Only then did Ma Yue bluntly tell Nan Wang: The crossing people all come from the upper realm of Kunlun, and their purpose is to overthrow Ming Dynasty and build a new world.

Regarding the rebellion, Nan Wang was not surprised: he had already seen it from the clues and the daily conversations of the cross-travelers.Otherwise, what is the purpose of cultivating his "dark room"?
What surprised him was the so-called "Kunlun Theory": Now he finally knows the origin of these strange people, so they are exiled immortals?

This can be compared: two races that seem to be the same on the surface, but in fact have completely different connotations, all kinds of magical technologies and "magic tools", and the huge social background behind those new words. explained.

But what puzzled Nanwang was why didn't the time travelers directly disclose their origins?You know, those leaders of the Taoist sects in the Jianghu can gather a large number of congregations just by relying on a few low-level tricks.And too many of these things mastered by the traversers can be called real "miracles".

Ma Yue laughed when he heard this, and told Nan Wang two things: First, Jiangshan had to be defeated step by step with his own hands, and the magic stick was a trick without a foundation.

Second, these "banished immortals" now have no magic power and cannot go back to Kunlun. They are no different from ordinary people. Right now, they can only copy the world in those "scientific and educational films" bit by bit, so they have to lie dormant for some years.

In addition, since they are already "mortals", they don't plan to publicize the stories of the fairy world anymore.All the things about the "Kunlun Realm" will only be passed down orally among the first generation of indigenous elites, and will not form any written records. In the future, these stories will only become legends.

The worldview of Nanwang has thus opened a new door.

With his in-depth study of those basic textbooks, Nan Wang became more and more interested in the legendary Kunlun God Realm.Ma Yue told him that the upper realm is also full of endless battles, countries and societies rise and fall, and various systems coexist——"A Brief History of Social Forms".

This book is the last step in the ideological training of students.Nan Wang has been studying capitalism since slavery. During this period, Ma Yue, as a good teacher and helpful friend, continued to popularize common sense, increase knowledge, and open up ideas for this 17th-century scholar.

The last discussion between the two sides about the social system was after Nan Wang learned that the regime he would serve in the future would be a constitutional monarchy.

"Isn't this the rule of the emperor?" Nan Wang, who was still half a bottle of water in the social system, immediately adopted the Confucian theories he was most familiar with.

"Hahaha." Ma Yue laughed loudly.

"Scholar-bureaucrats say that they rule under the arch, which means that after the emperor is emptied, their class dominates-there are no people here, and the scholar-bureaucrats don't intend to accept the supervision of mud-legged people."

"The constitutional monarchy is different: although the emperor is emptied, the ruling class must be responsible to the voters. If you want to be governor, you have to deal with the people of a state. Tell me, is it easier to get a few big bosses in private, or Is it easy to deal with the people of a state?"

"So, it might be hard to be an official in the future?" Nan Wang understood.

"That's right, it's much more difficult to please thousands of people than pretending to be the emperor."

After the most difficult step of mental transformation was completed, Nan Wang finally figured out his "why" and "whom" he was fighting for. This was already three months after he came to Dayuan.

After that, the Intelligence Agency conducted several rounds of psychological tests and internal polygraph tests on him.

Facts have proved that the transformed scholar class can be "used for me".At least Nan Wang, a low-end scholar who is depressed and frustrated, is now full of ideas such as "minister of the dragon" and "founding father", which can be said to be completely reborn.

After the test was completed, Nanwang was transferred from Chikan Primary School to a village in Xingangshe.This village has been transformed into a training base for the Intelligence Bureau, and the aborigines have been resettled to the Chikan New District.

And before that, there was an episode: a certain person finally ushered in the birth of his daughter.During this period, due to Liu Niang's dystocia, Nan Wang was able to witness the miracle of Master Miao Shu's "Career-section"
Holding the screaming baby in his arms, Nan Wang knew that he could never turn back now—there was no doctor in the Ming Dynasty who could do this. .

Not long after, Nan Wang, a new father, began to receive formal training in espionage skills.

Realizing that his study course has changed from a theoretical "Tao" to a practical "Skill", Nan Wang is a little excited now—his ideological realm has been greatly improved now, and he no longer resists these things that can make him stand out. "Skills".

Compared with later generations, the courses of secret agents are a much shrunken version: shooting, fighting, assassination, intelligence collection and analysis, maintenance and use of electronic equipment, chemical mastery, sending technology. The above is all.

The intelligence agency's enemies in the 17th century were too low-level to use 007.
