Chapter 331 The use of dark lines
It is definitely not possible to rely solely on Qu Qingze and Huang Zaisheng to convey the news. The so-called unfavorable year is already August, but this year's events have almost nothing going well. Interestingly, many things faced by the court were very unsuccessful, but things in Jiangning County are getting smoother and smoother.
The large-scale harvest of grain and the purchase of 1.5 million stones of grain was easily completed. The gentry and wealthy families in Jiangning County consciously sold the grain without the urging of the county government. The merchants who purchased grain in the county had a much bigger appetite. The population of Jiangning County increased significantly, and the consumption level was getting higher and higher. With the prosperity of the Maritime Warehouse, more and more merchants were thinking of entering Jiangning County, and there were endless people who found the Chamber of Commerce.
The county government has collected the annual donations and taxes, totaling 3.6 million taels of silver, including more than one million taels of silver from the Maritime Bureau in the first half of the year. The shortfall is that the Maritime Bureau cannot get the income of the Maritime Bureau in the second half of the year. The imperial edict from the Ministry of Revenue has been issued, and the emperor has approved it. All the income of the Maritime Bureau in the future belongs to the imperial court. Of course, all the officials who do things in the Maritime Bureau have been included in the Maritime Bureau. Those who used to be officials and yamen runners of Jiangning County entered the Maritime Bureau and changed their identity.
Song Sijun and Wan Chenggui made all preparations and were ready to wait for Su Tiancheng's orders at any time.
The changes in Jiangning County made them completely convinced. They would never suffer any losses when they did things with Su Tiancheng.
Su Tiancheng knew that Jiangning Camp would be done soon. The most important thing now is to know the news through multiple channels. The most important thing is to have two aspects of news, the news of bandits and the Later Jin Dynasty.
Jiangning County does not have the ability to build an intelligence network system, and Jiangning Camp cannot do it.
To do this, the only way is to rely on the secret lines of the Jinyiwei.
The secret line of the Jinyiwei is mainly responsible for monitoring the royal relatives and officials. As for the movements of the bandits and the Later Jin Dynasty, it does not fall into their responsibilities, Su Tiancheng was a little depressed. The Jinyiwei's intelligence system was very complete and extended to almost all aspects. With such an intelligence system and not knowing how to fight outside the outside world, it is no wonder that the Jinyiwei is notorious.
As for the Dongchang manga, Su Tiancheng didn't want to use it. Their reputation was too bad and almost despised by scholars. Besides, the Dongchang is all eunuchs. Not every eunuch has the same idea as Wang Chengen and Qin Sande.
Su Tiancheng never forgot that Cao Huachun, the eunuch who was admiring the Beijing camp, had a very good impression of him.
This secret letter was written by Su Tiancheng himself and no one knows it.
The secret letter was sent out on the ninth day of the eighth month, but he had never received any news. As time passed, he was also a little anxious. He had no intelligence system or source of information, and was deaf and blind. Why should he go to fight? Is it really necessary to chase the bandits' butts? It was wandering around the mountains and fields, not saying that the people were tired and the money was damaged, but there was no practical effect at all.
August 17th.
Su Tiancheng, who was in Jiangning Camp, received a report from Su Jun. There were customers in Sihai Restaurant, waiting.
It seemed like telepathy. Su Tiancheng went straight to Sihai Restaurant without any delay.
There were two expressionless people standing at the door of the private room on the fourth floor. The breath revealed around them was very uncomfortable. The restaurant staff could not enter the private room, and all the wine and food were brought in by a dedicated person.
Seeing this situation, Su Tiancheng knew that the secret letter had a result.
He asked Wang Dazhi to wait outside.
When he entered the private room, Su Tiancheng saw Dong Chang at a glance.
This is a suite, where you eat in the room, and Dong Chang sits outside.
Dong Chang had a smile on his face.
"Sir, please pay homage to the Lord."
"Okay, Kun Yuan, don't have this kind of etiquette. Haha, I haven't come to Jiangning County for more than a year. This time I came, I almost couldn't find a place. I didn't expect that 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 heart outside the city. This time I saw it, all of them became markets."
"This is all the support of Shiwang, and I will just let it go."
"What a good person to let things go. If my Ming Dynasty officials knew that they would let things go, there would be no harassment from bandits, no invasion from the Later Jin Dynasty, and nowhere could they see so many refugees."
Su Tiancheng was very tactful and didn't speak.
Dong Chang quickly got to the point.
"Kun Yuan, I have received your secret letter. It is of great importance. I want to come here in person and listen to what you mean."
"Uncle Shi, I didn't say it very clearly in the secret letter. I know that this matter is important and it is definitely not something that can be explained clearly in the letter. When Uncle Shi arrived in Jiangning County, I happened to say it clearly."
"I want to control some of the secret lines of the Jinyiwei, mainly to master the following aspects of information."
"First, the activity of the bandits is the most important. After the Battle of the Carriage Gorge, where did the bandits move, what actions, or what plans did they have. Even if the Jinyiwei cannot figure out their plans and plans, they must always pay attention to their movements."
"Secondly, the actions of the Eight Banners of the Later Jin and the Eight Banners of the Mongolian Banners, as well as the Han army who surrendered to the Later Jin, it is quite difficult to master this information, but it must be done well and they must get their information. The younger generations have always been suspicious. The court sent large troops to wipe out the bandits with all their might. At such a critical moment, the Later Jin accidentally invaded Xuanfu and Datongfu. This is by no means a coincidence. It shows that the Later Jin mastered many movements of our Ming Dynasty."
"Third, the trends of the imperial army in exterminate bandits and defending the Later Jin Dynasty. In this regard, I don't want to explain too much. Shi Bo must understand the hard work of my younger generation."
Dong Chang listened very carefully.
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, he pondered for a moment.
"It is not a big deal to do these three things. The Jinyiwei is still capable. You continue to say what other requirements are there? In the secret letter, there are more than just these things."
"Okay, the next requirement will be higher, and there are still two things."
"The things are all the same, but there are great dangers. The Jinyiwei infiltrated the bandits and the Later Jin Dynasty, stealing intelligence, disrupting the morale of the army, or causing trouble. The two things are different. The bandits are uneven. It is easier to infiltrate them, but the Later Jin Dynasty is not that simple. The younger generation probably thinks that they are used to using such means. The Later Jin Dynasty is a foreign race. They will not completely trust the Han people. It is not that simple to infiltrate them. Therefore, this requires one's own flexibility and adaptability, and not to force it."
"As for the specific approaches, they are different. In the bandits, the focus is on conveying information and being able to instigate backbones. In the Later Jin area, it can cause trouble, such as organizing personnel, assassinating important generals, etc.."
As Su Tiancheng told the story, Dong Chang gradually became serious.
After Su Tiancheng finished speaking, Dong Chang immediately spoke.
"Kun Yuan, I'm a little strange. How did your thoughts come up? Reading the saint's books should be open and upright. If you tell them these despicable things, you will know them well and look very familiar."
Su Tiancheng's face was slightly red. He was a time traveler, so he would not have those pedantic thoughts. Jiang is old and Dong Chang is really powerful. It's the key point.
"The uncle, the younger generation has always pursued the consequences when doing things. The battle with the Later Jin and bandits was also a gentleman before the villain. The bandits always surrendered. They had no concept of courtesy, righteousness, integrity and shame. The Later Jin was a foreign race and coveted the Ming Dynasty. They would never be polite. Faced with such scoundrel behavior, if they were just humble gentlemen, wouldn't they be defeated miserably? They would still be able to control others by their own way. This is also the teaching of the saint."
Dong Chang was stunned for a moment, then smiled.
"What a good person who treats someone's body with his own way is reasonable and reasonable. Then tell me what you want to do."
"My younger brother is thinking about asking Qu Qingze to do this. My younger brother and Qu Qingze can cooperate well. As for the specific methods, I will discuss specific consultations with Qu Qingze."
"Haha, I know, you will think so."
Dong Chang clapped his hands.
Qu Qingze walked out of the room inside.
Su Tiancheng's face was filled with surprise, which shows that Dong Chang had agreed to his request. It can even be said that the emperor agreed to his approach. You must know that the Jinyiwei served the emperor directly. Without the emperor's nod, no one dared to dispatch it.
Dong Chang's face became serious again.
"Kunyuan, the emperor has read your secret letter. If it weren't for the emperor's compliment, I wouldn't dare to make decisions. Your idea is very good. I can't stand some adults, blindly upright and despise the Jinyiwei's approach. Over the years, the imperial court has not been able to achieve good results. The court has no idea about the situation of the Later Jin Dynasty. The emperor is already very annoyed. You think of this aspect, it is indeed good. However, the secret line of the Jinyiwei is not so easy to dispatch. I will not interfere with how you use it, but you must remember that if I use the secret line of the Jinyiwei, in order to achieve some unspeakable goals, I will not spare you."
During this meal, Su Tiancheng opened his mouth to drink.
Qu Qingze's identity was clear again and he went directly to Jiangning Camp and served as the Wei Zhenfu.
The meaning of Qu Qingze in this arrangement is also clear. The secret line of the Jinyiwei is actually serving Jiangning Camp, which shows that the emperor has begun to pay attention to Jiangning Camp, but the current situation is still stable and there is no need to dispatch Jiangning Camp for the time being.
