Ming politicians

(Thanks to Monk Jueyuan and Ren Laola for casting valuable monthly tickets, and thank you for choosing to take the middle route and the bandits for your reward. Thank you.)

Kangtai was at a loss when he suddenly received an urgent order from Fan Wencheng. Such a situation had never happened before. No matter what the situation was, Fan Wencheng never personally issued such an order.After being at a loss, Kangtai, who calmed down, knew the importance of responsibility and knew that the task must be completed, otherwise his end would be miserable.

Kangtai is a Han in Liaodong. It should be said that before Su Tiancheng became the governor of Ji and Liao, the Han people in Liaodong were very excluded, and they were even directly classified as traitors, not to mention all over Ming Dynasty, even in Liaodong. It is difficult for them to gain a foothold. The status and situation of the Liaodong Han people are very embarrassing. On the one hand, the Manchu nobles look down on them and regard them as slaves and inferior people. They were born to work for the Houjin Tartars, and it was under such circumstances that in order to survive, many Liaodong Han people took refuge in the Houjin Tartars and became an important part of the Houjin intelligence network. What Kangtai knew According to the situation, many Han people in Liaodong directly or indirectly provided information to Hou Jin.

Under such a position, the Liaodong Han people should be miserable, but the oppression of the environment has changed the views of many people, and survival has become the greatest wish of many people. Engaged in the work of spying on intelligence, they gradually became forced to From initiative to willingness, gold and silver treasures can be obtained anyway, coupled with the discrimination of Ming officials, many Liaodong Han people do not feel attached, and spying on information is also at ease.

After receiving the order, Kangtai carefully thought and planned his relationship with Tang Haitai.It is indeed very good, but Tang Haitai's greed and restraint also made Kangtai a little annoyed. Several times Kangtai wanted to remind him not to be too high-profile, the so-called wealth should not be exposed.Always like this, it will arouse suspicion from others, but Tang Haitai said that the reason for buying shares in the store as an excuse is still a day and night.

Kangtai was not completely worried about Tang Haitai, but mainly because of himself. Tang Haitai was so high-profile, if he was exposed, he would be completely finished.There is no need to think about the consequences of being caught by the government. It is precisely because of this consideration that Kangtai reported to Fan Wencheng, and after getting permission, he unceremoniously warned Tang Haitai and warned Tang Haitai.Be careful when you spend money, and don't be noticed by outsiders.Especially the colleagues in the governor's yamen, even though they had an excuse, Tang Haitai agreed on the surface, but the practice did not change much. This made Kangtai very annoyed, and he originally wanted to teach Tang Haitai a lesson.Unexpectedly, Fan Wencheng's order came, changing the previous decision, and the meaning was very clear, letting Tang Haitai do whatever he wanted.

This time, Fan Wencheng arranged staff.He brought 5000 taels of gold, all of which were used to spy on information, mainly Tang Haitai, and Fan Wencheng ordered people to send so much gold, he must be thinking of spying on important information.

Daming is preparing to launch an attack with the Qing Dynasty. Kangtai also knows the news. Of course, Tang Haitai provided the information. After a long time, Tang Haitai is in front of him. I felt like I said it.It is precisely because of this situation that Kangtai is becoming more and more worried. Intelligence work is very covert, and he must pay attention at all times. It will be a matter of time before Tang Haitai's playful character is exposed.

In Ningyuan City for a long time, he was engaged in spying on intelligence. Kang Tai was not a fool. He faintly felt a possibility, that is, Fan Wencheng's attitude had changed, and what was needed was information, not people. According to the information, he and Tang Haitai are likely to be finished too. [

He did not dare to disobey the orders above, but Kangtai would not sit still. For the 5000 taels of gold he brought, he first hid 3000 taels, and the remaining 2000 taels of gold was squandered for Tang Haitai. At the same time, he had to pay close attention to the situation. If something unexpected happens, he will immediately escape from Ningyuan City to save his life.

Tang Haitai entered the shop and went straight to the backyard.

Kangtai was waiting, with 100 taels of gold on the table.

Seeing the 100 taels of gold on the table, a smile appeared on Tang Haitai's face. Since he joined Houjin's intelligence network, Tang Haitai's life has become much more nourishing. The initial self-blame and worry gradually disappeared. Traces, fine wines and delicacies, and the enjoyment of romance can obliterate everything.

Tang Haitai was not polite, and reached out to grab the gold on the table.

Kangtai stretched out his hand and pinched Tang Haitai's arm.

"Wait a minute, I have something to say."

"What is there to say? Isn't it just that we need information? As long as I provide information about the governor's yamen, what else can I do? Don't talk about other information, but also ask me to inquire about it. I don't have the ability of."

The look of disdain on Kangtai's face flashed across.

"Tang Haitai, you also know that the Ming Dynasty is about to launch an attack on the Qing Dynasty. The imperial decree of Emperor Chongzhen has been issued for such a long time, but the attack has not been launched for a long time. What is the specific situation? The higher-ups need to know, and I still have a lot here. The gold, as long as you can provide information in this regard, it is yours."

A smile appeared on Tang Haitai's face.

"Okay, how much gold is there?"

"Don't ask about this, there are quite a lot anyway, the key is information, whether you can get it."

"How do I know? Anyway, I will provide all the things that the governor's yamen has. As for whether there is any information you need, I don't know. It's a big deal to pay more attention during this time."

Kang Tai was a little bitter. In fact, such a big matter can be understood after a little analysis. As a layman, he can have a certain analysis. As an official of the governor's office, Tang Haitai doesn't even have a simple analysis. He is really a fool. . [

"Tang Haitai, this kind of situation can be understood after a little analysis. Think about it, if the Ming army wants to launch an attack, it must be from Liaodong. It's a very difficult thing, as long as the officials in the governor's office are busy and there are more orders to be delivered, it means there is a problem."

Tang Haitai restrained his smile and looked at Kangtai.

"I don't need you to remind me of these situations. I naturally know that no matter what changes occur, I will provide information truthfully. The analysis is your business and has nothing to do with me. But you have mentioned this, and I also have requirements. Yes, since I need to know such important information, my price will be different."

"Tell me how much silver you need."

"At least 1 taels of silver is needed. If the court really fights Houjin, I will find a way to avoid it. This official can't do it. At least I need to leave Liaodong..."

What Tang Haitai said later, Kang Taixin listened to it. Tang Haitai had the idea of ​​backing down and preparing, and he would not report it to his superiors. This involved his own interests. If he reported it honestly, Fan Wencheng would add it soon Send people to Ningyuan to monitor Tang Haitai and his every move. At that time, there is no possibility for him to escape.

After Tang Haitai finished his request, Kangtai spoke without thinking.

"There is no problem with the silver. I can still give you 1 taels of silver after all your expenses are taken into account. But you must also know that this is what I have worked so hard to get from above. Maybe the store will pay back the silver. If you don't We can obtain this information, no matter where you go, we will find you."

When Tang Haitai went to look for Kangtai, he had already been closely monitored. In order to be able to grasp all aspects of the situation, Qu Qingze specially arranged manpower to open a grocery store opposite Kangtai's leather goods store. The owner of the grocery store was The secret line arranged by Qu Qingze has a good relationship with Kangtai.

Naturally, Qu Qingze also issued an order, demanding that the secret line closely monitor every move of Kangtai and Tang Haitai, and not let go of the subtleties. No matter what movement there is, it must be reported. Of course, Liaodong is far away from Dengzhou. It is impossible to report directly to Qu Qingze, but mainly to Lu Xiangsheng, Governor of Liaodong.

Lu Xiangsheng's greatest contribution is that he successfully installed a buddy in Kangtai's shop. This buddy looks very honest and honest on the outside. All matters big and small are highly concerned, including the time and frequency of Tang Haitai's visits to the store, etc., are very clear.

With two arrangements, all the whereabouts of Kangtai and Tang Haitai were investigated clearly.

Two days ago, Lu Xiangsheng received information that a large amount of gold suddenly increased in Kangtai's shop, which is said to be used to purchase grain and leather. During the autumn harvest season, it is normal for the shop to participate in the purchase of grain and earn some money. However, Lu Xiangsheng thinks that this is not normal. Kangtai’s fur shop has never purchased grain, and has no time and energy to purchase grain. The leather is delivered by a special person. The main purpose of the leather shop is to collect information. How could it be possible? To do business, so Lu Xiangsheng was sensitive to the fact that Houjin was probably in a hurry and needed information.

Lu Xiangsheng quickly made arrangements to increase the monitoring of Tang Haitai and Kangtai.

Of course, Lu Xiangsheng does not need to expend much energy on all these matters. His focus is still on conquest. According to Su Tiancheng's arrangement, Qu Qingze has come to Ningyuan secretly, and his focus is on "confusing" the Empress Jin Tartar For the matter, Qu Qingze stayed in the backyard of the Governor's Yamen, and Lu Xiangsheng set aside a separate yard where no one would approach.

Su Tiancheng's arrangement also made Lu Xiangsheng understand that this "confuse" the Empress Jin Tartar is of vital significance. The intelligence war has already begun, and Ming must win. (To be continued..)
