Ming politicians

() Just relying on Qu Qingze and Huang Zaisheng to pass the news will definitely not work. The so-called unfavorable year is already in August, but this year's affairs are almost not going well. What's interesting is that many things facing the court are very difficult. It went well, but things in Jiangning County are getting smoother and smoother.

The large-scale harvest of grain and the purchase of 150 million shi of grain were easily completed. The gentry and wealthy households in Jiangning County consciously sold the grain without the county government’s urging. The merchants who purchased grain in the county The appetite has grown a lot. The population of Jiangning County has increased significantly, and the level of consumption is getting higher and higher. With the prosperity of the Shibo Department, more and more merchants want to enter Jiangning County and find chambers of commerce. There is also an endless stream of people.

The county government has collected the donations and taxes for the whole year, totaling 360 million taels of silver, including more than 100 million taels of silver from the Shibo Department in the first half of the year. The fly in the ointment is that Jiangning County can't get the income of the Shibo Department in the second half of the year. When we arrived, the imperial edict from the Ministry of Household Affairs had already come down, and the emperor approved it. All the future income of the Shibo Department will belong to the imperial court. Of course, all the officials who work in the Shibo Department will be transferred to the Shibo Department. Those who used to be officials and government servants in Jiangning County entered the Shibo Department together and changed their identities.

Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui made all preparations and were ready to be dispatched by Su Tiancheng at any time.

They were completely convinced by the changes in Jiangning County, and they would definitely not suffer a loss if they followed Su Tiancheng to do things.

Su Tiancheng knew that the Jiangning camp had something to do soon, and the most important thing now was to get news from multiple channels. The most important thing was the news from two aspects, the news about the rogues and the late gold.

Jiangning County does not have the ability to build an intelligence network system, nor can Jiangning Camp.

To do such a thing, the only way is to rely on Jin Yiwei's dark lines.

Jin Yiwei's secret line, the main duty is to monitor the emperor's relatives and officials.As for the movements of the rogue bandits and Hou Jin, which do not belong to their scope of responsibility, Su Tiancheng was a little depressed. Jin Yiwei's intelligence system is very complete.Almost everywhere.With such an intelligence system in place, they don't know about the outside world, but engage in infighting. It's no wonder that Jinyiwei is notorious.

As for Dongchang Fanzi.Su Tiancheng didn't want to take advantage of them, their reputation was so bad that they were almost despised by scholars, besides, the East Factory was run by eunuchs.Not every eunuch thinks like Wang Chengen and Qin Sande.

Su Tiancheng never forgot that Cao Huachun, the chief eunuch of the admiral Jingying, had a bad impression of him.

This secret letter was written by Su Tiancheng himself, and no one knows about it.

The secret letter was sent out on the ninth day of August, but I haven't received any news since I watched the time pass.He is also a little anxious, he has no intelligence system and sources of intelligence, he is deaf and blind, why should he go to war? Could it be that he really wants to chase the ass of the rogues.Wandering all over the mountains and plains, not to mention the waste of people and money, has no practical effect at all.

August seventeenth.

Su Tiancheng, who was in the Jiangning Camp, received a report from Su Jun.Four Seas Restaurant has customers and is waiting.

It's like telepathy.Su Tiancheng went straight to the Four Seas Restaurant without any delay.

In the private room on the fourth floor, there were two people with expressions standing at the door, and the aura exuding from their bodies made people very uncomfortable. The staff of the restaurant were not allowed to enter the private room, and all the food and drinks were brought in by someone.

Seeing such a situation, Su Tiancheng knew that the secret letter had a result.

He asked Wang Dazhi to wait outside.

Entering the private room, Su Tiancheng saw Dong Chang at a glance.

This is a suite, eat in the inside room, Dong Chang sits outside.

Dong Chang had a smile on his face.

"My lord pays my respects."

"Okay, Kun Yuan, don't come to this set of etiquette anymore. Hehe, I haven't been to Jiangning County for more than a year. This time, I almost couldn't find a place. Unexpectedly, Jiangning County has changed so much. I found that the city has expanded a lot. When I came last time, there was a lot of chaos outside the city, but this time I saw that everything has become a market."

"This is all the support of the uncle, the younger generation just let nature take its course."

"It's good to let nature take its course. If I were an official of the Ming Dynasty, I would know that if I let nature take its course, where would there be harassment by bandits, where would there be invasions by Houjin, and where would we see so many refugees?"

Su Tiancheng was very interested and didn't speak.

Dong Chang got to the point.

"Kun Yuan, I have received your secret letter. The matter is of great importance. I want to come here in person to hear what you mean."

"Uncle Shi, the younger generation didn't say very clearly in the secret letter. The younger generation knows that this matter is important. It can't be clearly stated in the letter. When the uncle arrived in Jiangning County, the younger generation just made it clear."

"The junior wants to control a part of Jinyiwei's dark line, mainly to grasp the following information."

"First, the activities of the rogues. This is the most important thing. After the Battle of Chexiangxia, where the rogues were active, what actions they had, or what plans they had, even if Jin Yiwei couldn't figure them out. plans and plans, but we must also keep an eye on their movements.”

"Secondly, it is quite difficult to grasp the information about the movements of the Eight Banners of Manchuria and the Eight Banners of Mongolia, as well as the Han army who took refuge in Hou Jin, but it must be done well, and their information must be obtained. The younger generation has always It is no coincidence that Houjin invaded the Xuan Mansion and Datong Mansion unexpectedly at such a critical moment, it shows that Hou Jin has mastered many movements of my Ming Dynasty."

"Thirdly, the imperial army suppressed the bandits and defended the movement of the Houjin. In this regard, I don't want to explain too much. Shibo must understand the painstaking efforts of the younger generation."

Dong Chang listened very carefully.

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he pondered for a while.

"It's not a big deal to do these three things. Jin Yiwei is still capable. You continue to say, what are the requirements? The secret letter doesn't just mention these."

"Okay, the next requirements will be higher, and there are still two things."

"Things are the same, but there is a great danger. Jinyiwei infiltrates the rogues and Houjin, steals information, disrupts the morale of the army, or causes trouble. The two things are done differently. The rogues are uneven. I think It is easier to infiltrate, but Houjin is not so simple. The juniors estimate that they are used to using such methods. Houjin is a foreign race, and they will not completely trust the Han people. They want to infiltrate among them, no? It’s such a simple thing, so it needs to be flexible and adaptable, not forced.”

"As for the specific methods, they are different. In the ranks of rogues, the focus is to pass on information and to be able to instigate the backbone of them. In Houjin's place, they can cause trouble, such as organizing personnel, assassinating important generals, etc. .”

Following Su Tiancheng's narration, Dong Chang gradually became serious.

After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Dong Chang spoke immediately.

"Kun Yuan, the old man is a bit strange. How did you come up with these ideas? Reading the books of sages should be aboveboard. You say these dirty things like a treasure, and they seem very familiar. "

Su Tiancheng's face was slightly red, he is a time traveler, how could he have those pedantic thoughts, Jiang is old and spicy, Dong Chang is really powerful, the key point is hit.

"Shi Bo, the juniors have always pursued results when doing things. The contest with Houjin and rogues is also a gentleman first and then a villain. The rogues will feign surrender at every turn. They have no concept of propriety, righteousness and shame. Houjin is a foreign race, coveting our great Ming Dynasty , will never be polite, in the face of this kind of behavior, if you are a gentleman who is blindly modest, wouldn’t you suffer a disastrous defeat, and treat your own body with your own way, this is also the teaching of a sage.”

Dong Chang froze for a moment, then smiled.

"It's a good one to use his own way to treat his own body. It makes sense, makes sense. Then you talk about it and what you want to do."

"The younger generation is thinking about asking Qu Qingze to do this. The younger generation and Qu Qingze can cooperate very well. As for the specific method, the younger generation will discuss with Qu Qingze in detail."

"Hehe, the old man knew that you would think so."

Dong Chang clapped his hands.

Qu Qingze came out from the inner room.

There was surprise on Su Tiancheng's face, which showed that Dong Chang had agreed to his request, and it could even be said that the emperor agreed to his approach. You must know that Jin Yiwei directly served the emperor, and without the emperor's nod, any No one dares to dispatch them.

Dong Chang's face became serious again.

"Kunyuan, the emperor has read your secret letter. If it wasn't for the emperor's permission, I wouldn't dare to make the decision. Your idea is very good, and the old man can't understand some adults who blindly upright and despise Jinyiwei's actions. In the past few years, the eradication of bandits has failed to achieve a good record. As soon as the court knew about Hou Jin's situation, the emperor was already very annoyed. It is indeed good that you thought about this aspect. However, the dark line of Jin Yiwei is not so good It can be dispatched easily, and this old man will not interfere with how you use it, but you have to remember that if you use Jin Yiwei's hidden line to achieve some ulterior purpose, this old man will not spare you."

During this meal, Su Tiancheng opened his mouth to drink.

Qu Qingze's identity was clarified again, and he directly entered the Jiangning camp to serve as Wei Zhenfu.

With such an arrangement for Qu Qingze, the meaning is also clear. Jinyiwei's hidden line is actually serving the Jiangning Camp. This shows that the emperor has begun to pay attention to the Jiangning Camp. However, the current situation is still stable, and there is no need to dispatch the Jiangning Camp for the time being. .

Su Tiancheng was in a very good mood. With Jin Yiwei's hidden line, the strength of the Jiang Ning Battalion was more than doubled. He was able to grasp the opponent's actions and intelligence, and target them accordingly. Not only could he reduce casualties, but he could also maximize the victory .
