Section 129 Potential collaborators
Wu Zhixiang got off the springboard and stretched out. These days, I am traveling by sedan chair and boat, and my body is very tired. From the beginning of passing Jiangxi, he changed ships and went all the way to Nanjing.
Although the boat ride is a little more comfortable than taking a sedan chair, but for the convenience of the journey, all the way to sit in a small boat, although the ship of the Weizhan is as comfortable as possible in terms of structural arrangement, but every day in the cabin is really suffocated. Finally, when he arrived at the Hangzhou dock today, he said that he had to take a break and come back to his senses. Spend a few days in this "paradise on earth".
Wu Zhixiang rushed to Jiangnan from Guangzhou to Jiangnan under the instructions of his father and brother to go to Jiangnan to "build relations". He didn't want to leave the comfort nest of Guangzhou and go all the way to the south of the Yangtze River, but it was a matter of his future - although he relied on the relationship between his father and brother to make a name for himself, he had been eating, drinking and having fun in Guangzhou for several years, and lived the life of a son-in-law, but over time, he was inevitably a little tired, and he wanted to make progress in his career.
Now the Donglin Party is very shili inside and outside the government and the opposition. If you want to go to the next level in the court, you have to try to get along with Jiāo, a member of the Donglin Party. Officials of the Donglin Party have always been very attentive to promoting "young talents."
Jiangnan was within the shili range of the Donglin Party, and many of the important backbones of the Donglin Party in the past, including the Seven Gentlemen who were persecuted to death by Wei Zhongxian, were several people from Nanzhili and Zhejiang. Many scholars who had never been out of office and retired Donglin Party officials also gathered here.
As long as you can manage to get along with these people, and get their help, it will be of great help to you.
To this end, he brought with him a large number of gifts; Half of them are all kinds of local products from Guangdong, and half of them are all kinds of foreign goods, most of which are novel "Australian goods". These goods were all obtained by him by walking Pei Lixiu's mén road to save face, and many of them are rare things that are in short supply in the city of Guangzhou now-if it weren't for Wu Zhixiang's meritorious service to the purple name, I am afraid that he would not have been able to get so much at once.
Because the Australian goods in Guangzhou have experienced a gap period of more than half a year, the Australian goods are like a drizzle and a long drought in the market, and they are swept away as soon as they come out. In the past, it was not uncommon to buy small glass mirrors, glassware, Australian jewelry, cosmetics and other things with just a little money, but now you have to make a reservation to pick them up.
Although Wu Zhixiang is a gentleman's son, but the official eunuch's son is accustomed to it, if it is not for the uneducated, frivolous and arrogant "second ancestor", he is far smarter than ordinary people in terms of human feelings. Although his father and brother have been officials for many years and have a lot of eunuchs, they are not a "big guy" with shili, and they are not as good as ordinary "giant gentry" in the township. If you want to do the imperial examination, you can't just visit a few "seniors" and give some money.
Fraud in the field is a very risky thing regardless of the dynasty. Once it is exposed, it is a big prison. However, fraud is rampant in every dynasty and generation. The high risk has made the fraud in the field more hidden, and it is more shady.
If there is no suitable person to invoke it, even if you want to send money, there is nowhere to send it, or you simply stuff the dog dòng.
The Wu family is not from Jiangnan, and they don't have much to do with Jiangnan. How to find the right person to help her match has become a major problem in front of Wu Zhixiang.
There has long been a sedan chair waiting for Weizhan on the side of Gongchen Bridge. Wu Zhixiang traveled from Guangzhou to Hangzhou this time, and the journey along the way was arranged by Qiwei. Although there are no relatives and friends here in Hangzhou, Qiwei also contracted a small guest house of a temple by the West Lake in the local area early through his connections. Very well arranged.
Wu Zhixiang got on a sedan chair and went all the way to the city.
Wu Zhixiang's arrival was immediately reported to Zhao Yinggong's desk through Qiwei's channel. Wu Zhixiang was put on the "watch list" of the Foreign Intelligence Service because of his actions in the anti-encirclement campaign last year.
Most of the people who were included in the "watch list" were Ming gentlemen and wealthy people who had a friendly attitude towards the crossing group and had a certain use value. They are not yet "collaborators" with a close chain of interests such as Li Luoyou and Gao Ju, but in many respects they show a friendly attitude towards the "Australians" and are willing to cooperate with the Senate.
Wu Zhixiang's group of gentlemen who often go in and out of Ziming Building are the most "close". In addition, he was "resolute" in the fight against encirclement and suppression. Given his background as a gentleman, the Foreign Intelligence Service considered further exploiting his status and social connections.
The Foreign Intelligence Service secretly investigated his background in Guangzhou. Wu Zhixiang's family is a native of Wuzhou, Guangxi, and the family was originally a landlord, with a concurrent business and a wealthy family. The official position of his father and brother is not prominent, and he is a typical middle-level bureaucrat. In several foreign terms, he made a lot of money.
Because the family is engaged in industry and commerce and has been operating in the state for a long time, their horizons are much broader than those of ordinary landlords, and it is natural that they are "close" in their political attitudes.
Jiang Shan felt that the Wu family could sharpen their mobility. Therefore, this time Zhixiang went to Nanjing to find the news of Donglin Party activities, and he sent it to Hangzhou as soon as possible.
Jiang Shan didn't ask Zhao Yingong to explicitly help Wu Zhixiang, but just told him that there was such an opportunity, as for whether he would take advantage of this opportunity or not, and how to use it, it was the intelligence officer's own business.
The Foreign Intelligence Service does not specify the activities of the intelligence officers, except in a few cases when specific tasks are assigned, and only outlines the work of the foreign intelligence officers. On the premise that the specific details of the arrangements do not affect the security of the intelligence station itself and do not harm the interests of the overall situation, there are generally no restrictions on it.
Do you want to help this boy? Zhao Yingong looked at the daily report sent by Qi Weizhan in the study, this person is here to seek fame, with the current strength of Hangzhou Station, to help people thread the needle and lead the way to participate in the fraud of the science field, nòng is not good and will be burned, it is better not to mix.
Thinking of this, he decided to only send someone to keep an eye on him for the time being, and decide on his next move according to his local activities.
After making up his mind, Zhao Yingong marked the word "observation" with a pencil on the document and put it in the file basket. At noon, Fenghua would come to take these documents away and classify them, and then arrange for field personnel to be dispatched through Sun Wangcai to handle them.
Zhao Yingong casually picked up a thick document bag, which was taken from the Dao Chief. Zhang Yingchen has rarely seen him recently. The "splashing dirty water" operation planned by the Taoist chief himself has been officially launched. Now whether it is the Taoist or Zhao Yinggong, they all have a little fame in the local area.
The Old Testament in Chinese Sigao had been delivered to Hangzhou a few days earlier, and the book had been hand-copied by a naturalized scribe - because the Great Library, the Religious Office, and the Lingao Church were not prepared to spread the book. Zhang Yingchen hid in the Taoist temple and secretly read and excerpted "cannonballs" at night, doing the same work as Bai Yang back then.
Zhang Yingchen has become more famous since he was a certain gentleman. Zhao Yinggong never understood what the Taoist chief relied on to make the gentleman of the paste-the medical and chemical reserves of the traverser certainly did not contain such things as "Viagra", Indian divine oil, or Spanish flies. He has also kept it a secret, anyway, since then the Thief of Springs has become famous. Wealthy gentry and wealthy families came to invite him. Zhang Yingchen responds to requests and often goes in and out of the gentry's house. However, he continued to practice medicine every week in the Taoist temple, which only increased his prestige.
Unpacking the file bag, Zhao Yingong flipped through it casually, and it turned out that it was Quanzi who made the "black material" in the document bag. In the accompanying letter, Zhang Yingchen asked the Hangzhou station to print a batch of pamphlets to be used as a poster to attack the church in Hangzhou.
The use of black materials such as unveiling posts to engage in propaganda has been carried out by the Crossing Group more than once. At the beginning, he engaged in psychological warfare in the city of Guangzhou, and distributed all kinds of pamphlets with remarkable results, so this time the stolen springs were concocted in the same way.
Zhao Yinggong got the latest news; Huang Zhen had already returned from Ningbō, and it seemed that he was fighting to the death, and it seemed that he must have the support of the great monk Yuanwu of Tiantong Temple. Zhang, the main force in the Hangzhou lesson plan, is also active in all directions, and it seems that the Hangzhou lesson plan will break out soon.
Looking at Zhang Yingchen's energetic appearance, Zhao Yinggong couldn't help but worry, although this move to splash dirty water to trigger the lesson plan in advance has the effect of killing two birds with one stone, but if it goes too far, the Hangzhou church will be hit hard, and I am afraid that it will be powerless and unintentional to help him at that time.
With this concern in mind, he quickly finished the various official letters that had been sent to the safe house yesterday. He also locked the materials that needed to be kept secret in the safe, threw the ones that needed to be destroyed directly into the brazier and lit the fire, and watched them turn to ashes - these things he did not pretend to be. Although Fenghua has been trained and appraised by the General Administration of Political Security.
Coming out of the safe house, Zhao Yinggong returned to his own Nano book and novel. A mō look like a toiling crowd.
After a few months in Jiangnan, Merlin found that he had not lived a warm and soft life at all. The long-awaited Nanjing party passed by in a hurry, not to mention Qin Huai's eight yàn, and even a decent NV person didn't have time to see it. In addition to this trip to Nanjing, it is to build a house on the construction site and decorate. Not only is he responsible for building the house, but also the interior decoration and interior furnishings are all handled by him. A large number of furniture furnishings can not be transported from Lingao thousands of miles away, most of them have to be purchased or ordered locally in Hangzhou, and the things of drawing patterns and guiding craftsmen to work all fall on his head. Because there are too many jobs and the requirements are very complicated, the outside order is always not satisfactory. Merlin simply asked Zhao Yingong to recruit some craftsmen from various sè industries, and set up a woodworking factory specializing in the manufacture of furniture, interior decoration and building components on the land of Phoenix Villa.
