Chapter 364 Jinyiwei is in action

Zhang Jiayu smiled and said, "It's very simple. When you go to Ganzhou, you have to find a way to weaken Jin Shenghuan's strength. You know that Jiang Yueguang and Jiang are selecting soldiers in Ganzhou. These people have to be handed over to Jin Shenghuan, but His Majesty the Emperor doesn't like Jin Shenghuan's strength. So I have to work hard for Zhao Qianhu. I try my best to delay time here, but I guess I can only delay half a month. In addition to the itinerary on the road, 30,000 people will be able to reach Nanchang in one month. You have to promote Jin Shenghuan within this month anyway! Do you know?"

Zhao Mengguan knew that the court had a fierce struggle, so he should not involve himself in the war. Zhao Mengguan did not dare to ask in detail. He heard Zhang Jiayu say this and quickly knelt down and said, "Please rest assured, the villain must complete the task within one month!"

Zhang Jiayu nodded, he was very satisfied with Zhao Mengguan's attitude. Zhu Hongsan's intention to him was to weaken Jin Shenghuan's strength. After all, he would have nearly 50,000 people in his hands with these 30,000 people, which was a considerable force in Jiangxi. If Zhu Hongsan wanted to occupy Jiangxi dialect, he would naturally not want Jin Shenghuan to be so powerful. However, Zhang Jiayu also received a secret letter from Prime Minister Ma Mingyuan. Ma Mingyuan meant to simply use the strength of the Qing Dynasty to kill Jin Shenghuan directly. Because if Jin Shenghuan succeeded anyway, the power of the Donglin Party in the court would increase greatly, and Qian Qianyi had great hope of entering the cabinet, but now the cabinet position is full. If Qian Qianyi wants to enter the cabinet, he will inevitably squeeze the share of the Huguang faction, so he must let Jin Shenghuan die and let Qian Qianyi lose foreign aid, so that the status of the Huguang faction cannot be threatened.

Zhang Jiayu was also very confused when he received Ma Mingyuan's letter, but he had no choice. He is now the prince's teacher and has already boarded the Ma family's ship. If the prince takes office in the future, Zhang Jiayu will naturally rise, but the prince and the Ma family are unlucky and Zhang Jiayu will not get a good result.

After thinking about it, Zhang Jiayu decided to do what Ma Mingyuan said, and then arranged for Zhao Mengguan to force Jin Shenghuan to rush to Nanchang before reinforcements arrived in Nanchang. Anyway, Jin Shenghuan's troops were less than that of the Qing Dynasty, so he could use the Qing Dynasty's hands to remove Jin Shenghuan.

Zhao Mengguan sighed after coming out of the Censorate Office. It took a lot of time to see it in a month, but it took seven or eight days to go to Ganzhou to Nanchang Road. He went to the local Jinyiwei to find out the situation. One month was too tight.

After receiving the order, Zhao Mengguan did not dare to delay and did not stop in Ganzhou. He immediately took his thirty people to change his clothes and shave it into a rat-tail of money, dressed up as merchants, and took a boat to go down the Ganjiang River.

The Jinyiwei, a famous secret agency in the Ming Dynasty, was formerly the "Gongwei Office" established by Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor's Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang. Later, it was renamed the "Personal Military Commander Office" and was in charge of the Emperor's Etiquette Guard and the Etiquette Guard. In the 15th year of Hongwu, the Prince of Military Commander Office and the Yiluan Office were abolished and the Jinyiwei were relocated. As a military agency of the emperor's Etiquette Guard, Zhu Yuanzhang specially ordered him to be in charge of criminal prisons in order to strengthen centralized rule, and granted the power of inspection and arrest. He established the Jinyiwei, engaged in reconnaissance, arrest, interrogation and other activities. This is an introduction to the Jinyiwei on Baidu in later generations. When people discussed the Jinyiwei, they remembered the brutality of the Jinyiwei, but forgot the Jinyiwei's contribution to the Ming Dynasty's country. As a military agency, the Jinyiwei also participated in the work of collecting military information and instigating enemy generals. For example, a large amount of Japanese military information was collected in the Korean War in Wanli, which made contributions to the Ming Dynasty's victory in the War of Resistance and Aid Korea.

As an emperor who was ambitious to restore the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Hongsan naturally knew the benefits of the Jinyiwei, so when he came to Guangdong, he immediately asked his confidant Qian Lide to reorganize the Jinyiwei. After Zhu Hongsan became emperor, he even arranged for a great opportunity to recruit Jinyiwei staff from various prefectures and counties in Guangdong. However, Zhu Hongsan also knew that Jinyiwei was a double-edged sword. While giving Yu Jinyiwei the power, Zhu Hongsan cut off the imperial prison of Jinyiwei, and stipulated that Jinyiwei only had the right to report secretly but no right to arrest him. Under Zhu Hongsan's rectification, the new Jinyiwei was completely renewed, which was a bit similar to the CIA of later American imperials, and completely lost its internal functions.

However, this is not Zhu Hongsan's preparation to give up the supervision of all officials. This function was handed over to the more notorious secret agency Dongchang. The Dongchang's supervision list also includes the Jinyiwei. In addition, Zhu Hongsan's deliberate provocation, the Jinyiwei and the Dongchang have become mortal enemies. It is completely because of you or not, and the fight is to the death.

Just as Zhao Mengguan was about to board the boat to Nanchang, Qian Liu in the team whispered: "Sir Qianhu, look over there!"

Zhao Mengguan turned his head and saw that a group of people were also boarding the boat not far away. When he saw closely, he was Luo Qifeng, the commander of the East Factory, who was the Qianhu, who was in charge of the execution of the Qianhu.

Luo Qifeng was originally from Nanzhili, and was a hundred households in the Fushi Department of Jinyiwei in Nanjing. After the city of Nanjing was destroyed, Luo Qifeng was unwilling to serve the Qing Dynasty and fled to Guangdong with his family.

After arriving in Guangdong, he happened to meet Cao Fang, the supervisor of the Dongchang Factory, who wanted to recruit soldiers. Luo Qifeng originally wanted to join the Jinyiwei, but after all, he was an old business, but he didn't expect that the Jinyiwei had already formed his own system and had no position as an outsider like Luo Qifeng. Luo Qifeng was in anger and went to Cao Fang to commit suicide. The Dongchang Factory was invented at that time, with only three or two kittens. As a professional, Luo Qifeng was overjoyed and immediately appointed Luo Qifeng as the chief clerk of the thousand households. This is the biggest official position that a normal person can get in the Dongchang Factory except eunuchs. If Luo Qifeng was determined to cut off his right and wrong roots, Cao Fang could give him a deputy factory supervisor.

Cao Fang's appreciation touched Luo Qifeng very much and devoted himself to his work. As the rebellious boy of the Jinyiwei, Luo Qifeng knew the dirty things of the Jinyiwei very well. Under Luo Qifeng's leadership, the East Factory investigated and dealt with several Jinyiwei who knew the law and violated the law, which made Cao Fang look very good in front of the emperor, but the Jinyiwei hated Luo Qifeng to death.

Just as Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng, Luo Qifeng also saw Zhao Mengguan.

Seeing his old opponent Luo Qifeng walked over with a smile, he bowed and asked, "It turns out it's Zhao Qianhu. I don't know if I'm going to Nanchang. If you go along the way, you can go with me with Lao Luo!"

When Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng coming, he asked in a low voice: "Luo Qianhu, what are you doing in Nanchang? Isn't Dongchang not allowed to leave Guangdong?"

"Zhao Qianhu was wrong. We have the emperor's imperial edict, ordering our Dongchang to go to Nanchang to monitor the actions of your Jinyiwei. After all, I know exactly what kind of waste you Jinyiwei are!"

"Fuck, Luo Qifeng, you forgot what you did before? You have no hope to compete for me this time when you want to go to Nanchang to compete for me!"

"Haha, let's take a look!" Luo Qifeng said that and returned to his team and got on the boat.

When Zhao Mengguan saw Luo Qifeng leaving, he cursed in his heart, this trip to Nanchang seemed not easy, and there were 80% hiding tasks with these Dongchang kids.

Zhao Mengguan did not dare to waste time, so he immediately rushed to Nanchang after boarding the boat. After seven or eight days of travel, Zhao Mengguan and others finally arrived in Nanchang, Jiangxi on June 18th.

Unlike the secret spies of the Jinyiwei in Fujian, Nanchang's contact was in the city. Qianhu, Jiangxi, Jinyiwei, was Ma Yu. When Zhu Hongsan was in Wuchang, Ma Yu was the head of the Ma family merchant in Nanchang. After Zhu Hongsan escaped to Guangdong, the order was to stay and wait for the opportunity. In addition, Nanchang, Jiangxi was not affected by any military disaster, Ma Yu was very prosperous in Nanchang. After Qian Lide reorganized the Jinyiwei, Ma Yu was transferred to the Jinyiwei and became a Qianhu.

Zhao Mengguan and others got off the ship at the Nanchang Shuiguan Wharf. Now the situation in Jiangxi is getting increasingly tense, and there are fewer merchants coming to Nanchang. The once lively Shuiguan Wharf has become deserted.

Zhao Mengguan had already ordered the ship. There were too many thirty people, so everyone had to divide into several groups to enter the city and gather in the old Ma family store in the south city.

The group with Zhao Mengguan were Qian Liu and five others. Qian Liu followed Zhao Mengguan in Dongguan, which can be considered his confidant.

The five people arrived ashore and then went to Nanchang City Gate. More than a dozen Qing soldiers guarding the gate. One of the small leaders stopped the five people and asked, "What are you doing?"

Qian Liu hurried forward and replied, "June, we are merchants from Guangdong, selling some salt and snow sugar!"

"Where is your goods?"

“Everything is on the boat behind!”

The little leader looked at the cargo ship on the dock and said, "Governor Zhang has an order to confiscate all salt!"

Qian Liu was stunned and asked, "Why? These are all our lives!"

The little boss was impatient and scolded: "Damn it, I care whether you are alive or not. I'm talking about the law!"

Zhao Mengguan quickly stepped forward and took out two taels of silver, stuffed it into the hands of the little leader, and asked, "I ask the Jung-yeo to buy tea for these silver. The villain just asked why we confiscated salt!"

The little leader touched the silver and smiled and said, "You guy is aware of the current affairs. I will tell you that the governor's yamen has an order to fight with the Ming army in Guangdong. Salt is only allowed to enter and not leave as a military substance! You can go to the governor's yamen to report the ship number and you can give you some compensation!"

So that's it, the Qing army began to prepare material things. Zhao Mengguan quickly thanked the little leader and brought a few people into the city.

When I entered Nanchang City, I found that the city was much deserted. Perhaps the residents in the city were not aware of it and went out to avoid it for a while.

Zhao Mengguan and others found out the location of the old Majia store in Nancheng and rushed to the contact point directly.

The old Ma family store is a relatively large inn in Nancheng, which is easy to find by Zhao Mengguan and others. When they arrived at the door, Qian Liu stepped forward to meet the incision. The shopkeeper was also from the Jinyiwei. He came to Zhao Mengguan and whispered: "I welcome Lord Qianhu and invite Lord Qianhu to come into the inn and wait. I have notified Ma Qianhu that he will come in a short time!"

Zhao Mengguan nodded and whispered: "We have thirty people in total. They will arrive in batches later. You can receive them!" After that, he entered the inn and rested.

Zhao Mengguan waited for a quarter of an hour, and Ma Yu, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, rushed to see Zhao Mengguan.

"Ma Yu, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, have met the adults!"

Zhao Mengguan nodded and said, "I am the eight thousand households in other places, Zhao Mengguan, and I have seen Ma Qianhu!"
