Lu Ming

Chapter 294 Longyan Battle ([-])
The biggest advantage of literati like Nan Wang lies not in killing people and setting fires, but in their ability to penetrate into Ming society.This ability is beyond the reach of Mud Legs, who account for 99% of the time-traveling subordinates.

A scholar with huge resources behind him could easily infiltrate the officials and gentry of the Ming Dynasty.In this regard, a certain master has achieved great success so far.

That's why the Intelligence Bureau also focused on Nanwang's training: fighting, physical fitness, and assassination are the most important subjects for 007, but they are not important here at Nanwang, just barely pass.

On the contrary, it is the inconspicuous little skills such as intelligence collection and analysis, operation of electronic equipment, chemical mastery, and dispatching technology, which should be mastered by an upper-class person who is mixed in officialdom and shopping malls.

So Nan Wang started the formal training course with several other students at the training base.

As expected, the scholar who was accustomed to speaking with a pen was not used to physical fitness and combat training at first.Even the shortened version of the training plan put Nan Wang to death.

However, he still persevered—it was impossible if he didn’t persist. This was not a sunny primary school classroom, but a training ground surrounded by mountains and forests. Holding a buckskin whip, the vicious instructor was not as easy to talk to as Ma Yue.

While training physical fitness and fighting, students also need to intersperse with shooting training: Daming bird blunderbuss, three-eyed blunderbuss, European matchlock gun, Erba Dagai, pistols, daggers, etc. must be mastered.

Once shooting training starts, the maintenance and maintenance of firearms becomes a compulsory course.

Different from later generations, in the 17th century, students had many opportunities to participate in actual combat shooting: Note, it is not live ammunition, but actual combat.

After annihilating the two indigenous communities south of Zeng Wenxi, Madou and Xiaolong, a certain force temporarily stabilized: it takes time to digest the territory.

However, as the relationship between the crossing group and the Zheng Zhilong group gradually deteriorated, the occupation plan from the north of Zeng Wenxi to the Chiayi area was put on the agenda.

Bengang in the Chiayi area is the base camp of Fujian immigrants inherited by Zheng Zhilong since Yan Siqi colonized Taiwan.

At that time, the aborigines living near Chiayi belonged to the Pingpu tribe and the Anya tribe, and they belonged to some village communities such as the Maoluo Society, the Dawu County Society, and the Taliwu Society.

So the army started a continuous, small-scale operation to clean up the northern aborigines: first clean up the roadblocks, and after Zheng Zhilong is finished, the Fujian immigrants in the stupid Hong Kong area will be a meal of a certain force.

Nan Wang and his students were also temporarily incorporated into the company under the leadership of the instructor, and experienced the marching and combat of ordinary soldiers.

This attack on the recalcitrant indigenous village is mainly to help the students overcome the psychological barrier.The requirements are not too high: follow the soldiers to fire a few shots, it is best to kill people, if you can't kill them, you can clean up the corpses with burst skulls afterwards.

However, the students in this level generally said that the problem is not serious.It is now the 17th century, from the poor to the gentry, everyone who can live to adulthood, without exception, has seen countless tragic scenes-the dead body surrounded by flies on the roadside is the most common show, and the vegetable market slashes Heads are considered daily life, and there are festival dramas such as living.

This is a barbaric era, and the people are extremely numb to dead people and blood. Those soldiers who fired a shot and cried and wanted to go home to see their mothers did not exist in this era. They were the product of a wealthy society and a detailed division of labor.

Different from exercising physical fitness, Nan Wang is relatively quick to master various wiretapping instruments. After all, he is not illiterate.Moreover, the operation of these gadgets is very simple, the difficulty of the home remote control level, as long as the initial surprise is over, it is not difficult to master.

Sending technology took him some time: because he needed to practice his fingers and memorize some fixed message codes.

Opponents who travel through the forces do not have radio interception capabilities, so the messages do not need to be encrypted, and these complex procedures of translation are not required.When the agents are performing tasks, they can directly send the report in plain code, and it is enough to send some commonly used phrases in code.Just like the code book when the BP machine was popular, it is much easier than the underground party back then.

Nanwang's only interest is chemistry.

He is on the passing line in almost all subjects, but he is full of interest and exploratory spirit in the course of chemistry.Not only is he interested in the poisons and wound medicines necessary for various agents, but he also traces the source, insisting on finding out the origin and formula of these medicines
After hearing the news, Ma Yue had to conduct an impromptu investigation on him.

The result of the survey is a bit funny: the technology of "turning stone into gold" was Nan Wang's biggest dream in his youth
Of course, this is not surprising. The ancients' pursuit of the two technologies of alchemy for longevity and turning stones into gold has always existed.

Since Emperor Wudi of the Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong and Emperor Xianzong of Tang Dynasty, and Emperor Yongzheng in recent times all died of taking pills.The "Hong Pill Case" of Emperor Guangzong of the Ming Dynasty has been debated until now, and Emperor Jiajing even went to practice alchemy with his sleeves rolled up.

The emperor is like this, and the gentry class below is not far behind.

Not to mention those wealthy households who use various raw materials, even babies, to refine medicine, just talk about the joke of "turning a stone into gold", and I don't know how many people have been fooled into investing in the project for thousands of years.

All kinds of alchemists and scammers have interpreted the big IP of "Tianshichengjin" almost to the extreme, just like the pyramid schemes of later generations, and even various schools with different methods have emerged.

Nan Wang was also one of the victims.

Although he was cheated once when he was young, he was cheated out of a sum of money by a wandering Taoist priest, but he has never changed his infatuation, and the dream hidden in his heart has not been shattered.

Well, this time, when he saw the bottles, jars, various powders, and various potions in the laboratory, someone immediately activated his dream—the Immortal must be able to touch stones into gold, Otherwise why are they so generous?

Knowing the reason, Ma Yue couldn't laugh or cry for a while.

Chemistry is very difficult to explain. In the end, he had no choice but to arrange a junior high school chemistry class for Nan Wang. Nan Xiucai was able to go back to Chikan Primary School to learn his homework from Teacher Jiang after his training.

Seeing Nan Xiucai excitedly rushing to school to learn "alchemy", Ma Yue immediately codenamed the dream-chasing agent "Chemist".

After Nan Wang was recruited by the intelligence agency, he actually started to perform tasks not long after.It's just that those missions at first were of a test nature, and there was no difficulty, and he didn't even know what role he played in some missions.

For example, as early as New Year's Day in 1628, Nan Wang was ordered to go to the pier of Dayuan Island to act as an ordinary attendant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

At that time, it was the Sloten, captained by Peter Nuiz, who was preparing to set sail on the pier—the red hairs had just reached an agreement with the crossing people and were preparing to return to Batavia.

And Nan Wang's task is: when Cai Feiming of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said goodbye to the red hairs, he was responsible for handing a glass of special red wine on the plate to a Dutch priest named Candideus.

The task was simple, and Nan Wang didn't make any mistakes: Cai Feiming and the pastor clinked glasses after receiving the red wine that Nan Wang handed over to them, and then drank it all in one gulp.

The task of looking south here is over.Although simple, this was his first mission under the intelligence agency.

In fact, it was not until half a year later, when Putmans led the Dutch fleet back to the captain, that Nanwang found out from the sailors what happened to Pastor Candideus: On the third day after sailing, Candideus had a severe cold, and on the fifth day Day he died.

Inquiring about this matter itself was also one of the tasks Nan Wang received.

Similar small tasks, Nan Wang has been completed in the senior staff.In the true sense, his first "business trip" was after he completed most of his training subjects, and in June 1628, he went to Fuzhou City as an attache of the envoy of the false Cao Chuan Zhang Dongdong.

In the mission at that time, there was Tang Mude, director of the Operations Division of the Intelligence Bureau.As Tang Mude's subordinate, Nan Wang originally went on a public trip: the bureau didn't arrange any special tasks for Nan Wang, he only needed to help Tang Mude send and receive telegrams, and feel the atmosphere of working secretly in the "enemy rear".

However, the world is unpredictable: because the prostitute Shui Xiuer got information out of Xiong Qi's mouth, it led to the serial assassination in Fuzhou that night.

The situation was tense that night. Nan Wang not only sent and received telegrams at the station all night, but also received an order the next day: pretend to be a prostitute and go to Sanfu Pavilion to poison Shui Xiuer.

This time Nanwang accomplished the task beautifully again: he first met Shui Xiu'er by using his literati demeanor, then poured ricin into the wine, tricked Shui Xiu'er into drinking it, and retreated successfully.

This time, Nan Wang acted professionally no matter what position he was in in this emergency - intelligence chief Dai Yun thought he had this quality at the beginning, and this time it all came true.

Not long after returning to the staff, Nan Wang became an official agent of the Intelligence Bureau, received his code name, received a gun, and truly became a high-level indigenous elite under the time-traveling staff—now all the time-travelers who engage in intelligence know that, There is an extra agent in the bureau who is good at using all kinds of poisons.

After the rest of the staff until October, Nanwang received an upgrade mission: to go to Longyan County to deal with a gang of bandits, either recruiting or killing them.

Ever since, Mr. Lan Da made his debut.With the help of local brokers' connections, Nan Wang worked as a guest minister in Yantou Village for a while, and successfully lurked down.

And not long ago, after receiving an order sent by someone from Yamashita, Nan Wang knew that the net was about to be collected, so he gave Ma Shixia the gangster the last chance to choose.However, the gangsters are very tough, and they don't want to be dogs for the government.
Don't want to be a dog, and don't want to die, it's hard, isn't it?

Nanwang had no choice but to find an excuse to go down the mountain—at the foot of the mountain, he first met Ding Liqiu in secret, and then prepared 30 altars of poisoned wine, and then brought the transmitter and antenna, as well as the hexagrams written in advance by secret writing potion Paper.Finally, Comrade "Chemist" went up the mountain with these props.

It's all over now.More than 200 members of the gang in Yantouzhai have been poisoned to death by the special agent "chemist" alone, neat and easy.

Looking south at this moment, sitting alone at the gate of Yantou Village, looking at the group of people slowly approaching in the distance, he couldn't help smiling.

The next moment, he took out a soft leather mask with blue fangs from his pocket, and put it on his face.
